I read Tasteach's 'tag galaxy' tweet and noticed the amount of images listed but thought it was a thesaurus application. I hadn't refined my search nor clicked on "view...photos" (duh!) It's beautiful! Grace Aah, thanks, now I get it. I read Tasteach’s ‘tag galaxy’ tweet and noticed the amount of images listed but thought it was a thesaurus application.

I can imagine it must have been very full on and probably quite taxing to concentrate for long hours on such high-end software. I have just met a friend of yours at NECC - Maria Knee. And told her how to spell Mapua (hope that is the school you were working with) as you are going to be on show at NECC in 2 days. You sure do get around these days :) Sounds like a wonderful experience Allanah.

I am sure that the people who attended your workshops came away brimming with ideas and tips. I am surprised that you lived to write this post though. Don't the airlines try to tell us that if we leave devices on during a flight we will bring the plane down ;) I agree about the powerful wifi on the XO laptop. Our one picks up 6 networks from our house and our MacBooks only pick up 2. The kids in the 3rd world deserve this. Good for you.
