Posterous is a great platform for both long term and short term blogging requirements. It's ease of use and flexibility are what attracted me to it for teaching and learning. I have used Blogger before with another class but Posterous makes everything so straightforward and instantaneous. <br>I've been following Bill's ideas with great interest and may just have to use some of them next year myself! And I'll look forward to hearing about how you use Psterous too. Thanks for the comment James. Posterous is a great platform for both long term and short term blogging requirements.

Google maps is one of the few Google apps I have yet to make use of in my classroom but I have seen some great ideas recently including this one from Bill Lord: <a href="http://lordlit.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/world-of-books/" rel="nofollow">http://lordlit.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/world-o...</a> , which is making think I will do something with it next year.<br><br>I use Blogger myself and also have my A-Level students use it. However, I am thinking of getting next years AS students to use posterous instead. The ease of use combined with the fact that it allows for auto-upload of audio files without need for external hosting is making me think that it is the way to go. The easier it is for them, the better!<br><br>I have signed up to posterous myself for a potential future project. Not sure what it is going to be - perhaps a 365 project; definitely something non-work related. Nice work Kevin, loving the audio posts and the Google map is great.
