Well, the new website is up and running and, I'm pleased to say, gaining in popularity. Quite a few people have messged me by one means or other to say that they like the new look. Basically, I'm determined to resist the temptation to install every widget known to humanity! Instead, I'm more concerned with:

a) great content
b) making it easy to find said content, and
c) encouraging people to contribute.

I have always had these worthy aims in mind, but one of the unintended consequences of having a lot of (a) has been the getting away from (b).
If you would like to contribute to the website, whether in the form of comments or actual articles, please do. (For articles, email me first to pitch the idea.)

As the new website has been going for only a few weeks, there are only 35 articles there at the time of writing (but growing at the rate of at least two posts a day at the moment). These are listed at the end of this post, and I hope you enjoy reading them.

In the meantime, you may like to subscribe to the new site's RSS feed, which is:

http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/rss.xml

That's the one that is going to be updated every weekday, pretty much, from now on.

That's it from me. Please check out the articles below, and check out the new site. And please subscribe to the RSS feed if you'd like to be notified automatically each time there is a new article to read on the site.
