Upcoming – Launch of National Interschool Blogging Championshop 2005 [NIBC]

Yes! The details has been confirmed! It is just next Friday, 20/5, and the registration booth will be opened from 1330hr onwards. The venue is exciting, the big SG “durian”, yup, you have guessed it, and the exact location is Level 2 Recital Studio.
For schools that have signed up, the registration is open, checked it out here.
It’s going to be exciting, not sure if this is the world’s first blogging competition involving schools. With 50 over schools participating times the number of students in each school. Though not every student will be blogging, but the sheer number of postings should be quite high.
Looking forward to the day when the blogging begins … *Ooo*

9th Edublog Workshop for Voila! Schools

Wow! This afternoon at Ai Tong School, we have a lab full of excited students led by their teachers. This is the first edublog workshop where teachers and students are blogging happily away together. Everyone had created a Blogger.com blog, and they were given a demo on how to upload pictures using Hello! and how to create a group blog.
If only we have more time, I would have been able to show them how to use the MS Image Resizer Powertoy to reduce BIG picture files into _small_ files that would be perfect for their blogs.
The slides used for the day is here.
