When I left she was desperate to do another project and I put her in the direction of John's blog. She had a read, liked what she saw and the coolaboration was started. It's an excellent example of how communication through blogs, the recommendations we all send out through them, can have a direct effect on the work done in class. I've also made a strong friend in Carol. It's a shame that the Guardian articles were limited in words - the journalist contacted me and used a lot of the information given, despite not quoting it. But the worst thing, is that the lack of words about real projects seems to have been to make room for marketing hype from computer and software manufacturers. That's less cool.
