While on a trip to Koblenz with forty Yr 8 pupils this week, Alex Blagona, Language College Development Coordinator of Northgate High School, in Ipswich has been moblogging again with his Sony Ericsson K750i.
As he explained in our Flashmeeting in March (01:12:36), Alex first tried out the moblogging feature of his new mobile phone on the St Etienne trip in February and found that it was very easy to take a photo with the camera, write a message with the picture and then upload it to the school's Blogger blogspot blog.
Alex describes the benefits of daily moblogs as being a cool, easy, and reasonably inexpensive way of keeping in contact with parents and other students who couldn't come on the trip so they could share in the experience as it was happening.
Not satisfied with this innovative use of technology, Alex has also been uploading images he is being sent by his colleagues from a trip they are taking to Boulogne along with over one hundred Yr 7 pupils. It would seem from the moblogged photo, that today they have been visiting a chocolate factory.
I'm sure he will tell us all about his moblogging adventures and much more on Tuesday when he joins us back home in Ipswich. Very cool, Alex. Very cool.

Joe, this is something I would really like to review for next year. We want to create a log of the sporting successes over the year and to be able to follow teams at National tournaments. I am sorry to say I may have a few questions for you....

Hi Joe - I'm leaving a message with my laptop, now I've discovered the hotel has wireless as well. The reaction from parents has been pretty good - with some students getting texts from home referring back to blogged details. The podcast recordings are also going well, even if they are hard work. My connection cable is dead, so I've been recording kids and the sounds of the trip on my PDA, infrared beaming them to my phone, and then bluetoothing them to my Mac. Garageband has an issue recognising the sound files, so I have to import them into Audacity first, convert them to MP3, and then I can use them in Garageband. All because I left the iRiver at school!
