In December 2011 I started to use "Scoop.IT" as a tool to inform about new items on Shambles.NET ... it takes much less time than posting directly to the Blog and also contains social elements like re-posting to other social networks and having the ability for visitors to leave comments.
I was never very good at regular posting here but hopefully the ScoopIT will be a better used tool ... TRY IT ... and subscribe if you'd like to receive emailed notices.

Shamblesguru Namecard
I'm about to have some (old media) namecards printed and so thought I'd take the opportunity to redesign them.
It is a challenge to decide just what to put on it ... originally I was going to go very minimalist but then it started to grow into a record of my digital footprint.
I even considered just linking to one page on the internet with all this info on it ... but then the aim is focus on the experience of recipients not myself ... which then brings into question ... what is the purpose of a paper-based namecard?. Is it to communicate or is it a marketing tool ... or vanity?
When I receive a namecard from others I scan it and throw the image into Evernote which auto character recognises the text to make it searchable ... so one of the considerations was to make it 'optical character recognition' friendly ... so no flowery or low contrast text and no messy backgrounds.
One easy decision was to include a QR Code ... with the increased use of smart phones I predict that 2011 will be the year of QR Codes in Education ... and you thought it was going to be tablets.
The interesting question is what should go in the QR Code? ... I decided to have it simply go to a page on Shambles ... so the decision is really what to put on that page to make it friendly to mobile devices .... I'm still working on that ;-)
So any feedback ... you have would be appreciated ... please add in 'comments' ...many thanks

Shambles Newsletter February 2010 now online
The February 2010 edition of the Shambles newsletter is now online at http://www.shambles.net/newsletter/february2010
There are only three a year so not many to look at.
I'm really pleased with how this edition has turned out ... and I'm also very grateful for the suggestions and contributions received.
I'm pretty certain that there will be something in the newsletter that will be of interest to you and your colleagues ... please feel free to pass the link around, it is public.
One section that is bulging is that listing conferences, courses and workshops especially in S.E.Asia ... including some for the next academic year ... your staff i/c teacher professional development should find this particularly useful.
Next newsletter will be in May ...
Have fun
Chris Smith (Shamblesguru)
p.s. Happy Chinese New Year .... Year of the Tiger
