The apple blossom is looking promising too…

They have been particularly pleasant this year.
The almost #purposed #3×5 image
On the 12th April I posted an image to the #purposed #3×5 campaign using words from Graham Attwell’s post back in March. His words ‘The internet provides us with rich and free spaces for expansive learning’ had rang true to me as he clarified his argument that education is the practice of freedom. I had wanted to capture that with an image of children in a free and open space using technology to collaborate and create together, so I chose the image shown here.
Spot the difference?
I’ll buy you a chocolate for the first person who can spot the difference between this image and the image on the previous post… (not counting the title).
Head no longer in the sand
Stuck in a loop
So, I’m trying to upload my 3×5 images for the Purpos/edApril campaign and I ‘ve found myself getting a bit stuck in a loop.
