A new term, and a new blog.......

So, I have decided to attempt to delve further into the world of technology (could be disastrous, have patience!) and, as you can see, have started up one of those blog things I have heard about so many times before. The purpose is to try and get together in one place resources which I stumble across and think will be useful to my students, and to gain feedback on which parts were useful/interesting etc.

A big welcome back at the start of term for all Oakley students and staff!
