Have been in ICT hibernation

Here I am at our eastnet lead teachers day and am feeling very guilty that this is only my second posting. I could create a huge list of ICT/Inquiry learning activities that what have been keeping me occupied for the past 3 months but instead am just going to share a few things from today before I head off in 15 minutes to present to my school at our "unconference" afternoon. The second PD session that has been organised for our staff.

Has been good today to work in groups with other lead teachers from other schools as opposed in previous times where we have ended up choosing to work with collegues from Shelly Park.

Thanks Kerry for showing me Glogster.com a web 2.0 tool that I can use on my knowledgeNET page. Will develop my own one and then introduce to children. They have only just recently created their home pages on KNET so am a little reluctant to get them to change these at this stage. Could be something they work on next year and develop, especially at senior school level.

The First of Many????

This posting will have to be the first of many. My ICT goal for 2009 has been decided and the success of it hinges on my blog. Over the next 3 terms I am going to document the ways that I integrate ICT to motivate and assist learning in room 11. My blog will become my tool to evaluate my teaching practise and reflect on what worked well and what changes I would make to improve for next time. Any constructive feedback that is received along the way will be greatly appreciated and please feel free to try anything or share any ideas you might have.

Am looking forward to this adventure and hopefully some comments!!!!

Thanks
