Lissa replied to Colin Chaplin's discussion Should teachers be competitive?"Hi Colin

Lissa replied to Melissa Jade Totman's discussion Technology in the classroom, is it too much?"Hi Melissa
Technology within my area is very important in many aspects, for one music programmes where learners can create compositions is beneficial for them to be creative. Also the use of the interactive whiteboard is something i use the majority…"
Lissa commented on Anita bell's blog post What if any would you take off the curriculum ?
