This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

That has been edited by me =o)

Neat little feature that allows one to
e-mail-post pictures via flickr straight
onto ones blog.

As as-far-as I know it’s not possible to do that here on wordpress.com yet.

I do so look forward to scenes like this again, this picture(s) was taken last year walking from the castle by the harbour towards the city centre. It was stitched together by Windows Live Photo Gallery which is part of the same “family” of tools as the Windows Live Writer that has been used to post these words.

The stitching worked well enough except one little detail, the white church tower in the middle which look a little bit like a crooked stick, well I suppose you can’t get everything. All-in-all the software works well enough as well as is very user friendly.

Just thought I’d save that for the archives, perhaps I should write something of use too…There is a Link list, on the right hand side” that I call “Living List” it tracks/posts my del.icio.us links here. A small selection of what I think important or not, that I come across during “surfs up”.

OER is the new milennia for online educational resources a change in paradigms can be seen slowly changing from private information and copyright to open information and copyleft. Open courses and the exchange of coursematerial between educators and the possibility for students anywhere and whomever to take courses for free online is very important for us all to be able to reach a just society where everyone has access to the same level of education. On a global scale this movement for OER is very important, as it gives people in developing countries the possibility to utilize the resources and know-how of old from developed countries. However countries in Africa for example are working very vigorously at providing e-learning resources for their citizens developing new modes of e-learning as well as implementing state-of-the-art tecniques and technology to be in the forefront of this very important field.
