Yahoo this works now!!! In 2008 our school became a part of the East Side Cluster for ITC, we have now been doing this for nearly 12 months, this is an update and a journey of my reflection.
9 March 2009
A couple of weeks ago I along with others attended the Annual Learning Conference for mostly ICT clusters throughout New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoyed it but it would have better if I was able to go the breakout sessions i wanted to, so instead chose the next best thing. A brief description would have been programs on the web that you can use in your daily class. A mac workshop, which of course we dont have Macs, and a setting up a wiki, netvibes, rss. The interesting thing is that when I presented it to the staff it didnt seem as exciting as I would have liked it to be, and I felt afterwards that it wasnt enough to be able to say it was worthwhile. Nevertheless whats done is done. I do feel that what I do in the class now should be always using interwrite, unless it is a display of somesort.
Whats going on in my classroom. It is harder than I anticipated, only because I am trying to work within the school inquiry learning, and within the maori medium learning. I have taken a step at a time,
MY Goal is to empower my students to learn by teaching them the skills.
How do I intend to do this.... I wonder wall.... I am begining the thinking keys... What if......
Well thats a start.....
Hiya. It is great to be able to connect this way and I am looking forward to hearing more about your inquiry. How did the wondering wall go? Did it encourage the children's curiosity?
ReplyDeleteI have been lazy and did not pursue it, so now that I am connecting to the e learning in ways of never thought I would, I shall revisit the wall
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while and my reflection has not been as fluent as I would have liked, so the attempt to move on starts now.
