Getting started

It is not always as easy to start. Rather silly and naive way to start this blog but it has just taken me about 10 mins to get into this blog because usually I am connected to gmail and so don't have to bother putting in all the ids and so on. Anyway I am here and so shall stop this ranting.

While listening to the radio, France Inter, I heard about a BBC documentary on the net and so quickly went to the BBC site where I couldn't see the videos as I am out of the UK. Thank heavens for other means, as it has given me the opportunity to have a look at the first part of the series which I have found really interesting. I am only a layman and so it appealed to me. Perhaps someone a little more erudite and educated would find it a little superficial but I have learned quite a lot this evening which I hope to pass on to my students at some time. By the way the series is called 'The Virtual Revolution'.

Have you heard about 'The Well'?
Do you know the difference between the internet and the WWW?
Who invented the WWW?
Have you heard about Ushahidi?
What about 'The Huffington Post'?

Have a look on the net, the web, it is so interesting, no, really.
