Here's a quick note to anyone who's following me, while I get the chance.
I'm currently in the final week of summer school for this year and it's been pretty hectic - as always - so no time for blogging and stuff. I've also not even been able to access twitter, because it's blocked at the school site where I am and so despite being followed by various new people and receiving a couple of direct messages, I can't reply!
Apologies to anyone who is wondering where I've gone; I haven't died, I haven't given up on the PLN, my blog or twitter, but I have been severely handicapped by restricted internet access, a complete lack of time and a desperate need to sleep any time I get the students away on an excursion.
Best wishes to all who read this blog, I'll be back with some sort of article as soon as I can; probably summer school related!

- How Do You Manage Your Time Online?
I received last Friday, multiple times, an invitation to do some blog reading homework at the weekend, an idea suggested by livesofteachers. Now I like reading blogs and I like Darren's blog but one thing I won't do (I realise I have a free choice...
