Wonderful video of Augmenting reality… #lrnchat
Website is also interesting… http://www.chipchip.ch/
@egoldstein and team. Just a big thumbs up on the recent features. The new ‘check in’ idea is interesting, will be fun to see how it will be developed – although the green doesn’t really fit? I really like the ‘bump into someone’, I’ve been using it and was surprised how often an interesting profile popped up that I was not following. Thanks for adding the drop down menu on ‘My Amplogs’ – makes life a little easier. Not sure if ‘Publishers’ is the right word? And I have to agree with @svartling that the logo ‘bump…’ could be better designed and placed in a more prominent place. One final notice is re: tweet buttons. From the #Android browser it does not work, either from the conversation feed or from the post itself. On click it just refreshes the url quickly but opens no overlay… (ideas?)

This is very topical… interesting read 
Firms and charities line up to run free schools by Hannah Richardson (BBC)
Lots of interesting noise about cost savings being made… LESS noise about the quality of education and logistics involved…
Q. Can private firms and charities promise quality of education ?
Q. How will technology play a part in Free schools ?
Q. If profit becomes the main motivator what effect will this have ?
Watching this develop with interest… what’s your view?
Firms and charities line up to run free schools
By Hannah Richardson
Private firms are lining up with parent groups to run the Conservatives’ flagship “free schools” in England.
These are the new schools that Education Secretary Michael Gove wants parent or teacher groups to set up and run with public funds.
The government argues they will give parents more choice and help raise standards.
But education commentators have questioned whether parents would have the time or the know-how to actually run them.
And consultancy firm Cambridge Education is offering on its website, “a complete package of support is available for anyone wanting to set up a free school”.
He added that the private contractors interested in running free schools would be very big players indeed.
‘Very wary’
He said: “Really the interesting question is whether the free schools can be as cost-effective or not cost-effective than the state sector and I think they can.”
