Buenas tardes.
I am just testing the different web-based tools for the “IDEL” course and I thought of writing about the PISA 2009 Report as a way of testing this Blog site.
In the last month, the PISA 2009 results have been widely spread and discussed in continental media (I wasn t in Scotland in December, so I cannot say). In particular, among Spanish educational institutions and organization, the report has raised significant controversy as the country rates a very low global position (481) in comparision with other State members such as Germany (497), France (496) or Italy (486).
Although the report is not focused on elearning and ICT technologies, as most of us work in education, I thought that the report may be insightful.

As part of the Digital Futures for Learning course I am hosting a seminar entitled Reuse, Reorder, Relate: Remixing culture and education, which runs from Thursday 9th to Saturday 11th. Participation is predominantly asynchronous, with a SynchTube discussion on Friday 6pm UK time. This is an open seminar; so all MSc folks are welcome to participate in all or any of the activities.

Dear fellow MSc E-learners…
Are you based in or near Edinburgh and do you fancy a F2F get together? After having bumped into a few fellow students and some tutors, I though the time might have come to organise a social get together.
I have picked a time end of November/beginning of December, hoping your diaries will allow some flexibility by then…I have set up a Google diary for you to pick and mix some dates.
You can check the link here:

Hope to meet you soon.
(for those far far away we can maybe have a SL session at the same time, provided the real world meeting can support it)
