Tu, Jan 15, 2008New training manual
I've been updating the training manual.
After reading some sections that went far back into 2001, I thought I better had. It's now jumped from 47 pages to 84 and is likely to reach 120 pages once I've finished with it, or finished with version 3.0 rather.
If you want to download it as I update it, I'm uploading nightly versions.
I've redone the section on email to weblog since that's been the big change. And have still much to do here.
There's plenty of updates and expansions of sections. I've also added many tips and warnings.
I'm going to add the writing for different audiences, since there's so much in there that's relevant.
I'd like to add a whole chapter on best practice, but this will have to wait till version 4.0
Once it's finished, I'll be mailing copies out to all our customers.

2% strike?
Balls to announce three-year deal for teachers: "Ministers measure inflation by the consumer price index, which was running at 2.1 per cent in November.
But unions argued that the retail price index measure - including mortgages - showed inflation running at 4.3 per cent."
Unions may call for strike action. (At least you'll be able to blog from home :-)
Traditional paper reports-gone by 2010
School reports going electronic: "The traditional school report is to be replaced by an electronic version delivered by e-mail, Schools Minister Jim Knight is set to announce."
Secondary schools by 2010, primaries by 2012. Digital divide will be negotiated out, idea is to break down barriers between school and hard to reach homes. Parents encouraged to email teachers, as often as they want. Teachers worried about workloads.
