Amazing connections from classroom20
Tonight I was on the computer late at night, trying to get organized for my two days in Melbourne, when a foreign language popped up on my screen, from my skype window. However, the text was in English and my first name was used. I quickly realised that this must be my newly acqu… Continue

Best tool for publishing student work....
So, was my reply to a query on classroom2.0 recently about the best tool for online student publishing. The lively discussion has centred primarily around blogs, wikis and nings but I would like to justify in this post, the use of blogging as the number 1 tool.
A student blog is a far more personal interactive website than any of the others. It may be used for journal entries and for publishing school work across many subject areas. It becomes the student's own w… Continue

My precious clustrmap
Then I realised they that they were in fact good dots,
Somone was actually visiting me
So I started writing with glee!!
Giving you prime spot I put you right up at the top
But now that you are so red, you are at the bottom
However, even there you are never forgotten.
Once I had learned how to add widgets to my blog, I inserted a clustr map. The sheer delight and excitement of red dots appearing have to be experienced to be belie… Continue

Merle Hall said… - Hi Anne. I teach 11-13 year old students. If we aren't able to collaborate on projects, I think my kids would still like to leave comments and visit your Ning site. How far are you from Sydney? I have a cousin in Sydney. You have an interesting page. I hope you don't mind if I browse it a bit.

Sam Walker said… - Thanks so much for the help - I feel like I'm continuously learning how to better influence people in my school and having friends via PLNs with resources like you helps. I'll search assessment on this Ning. I appreciate you helping find out how to participate well using this Ning.

- Thanks for the warm welcome - My head's been spinning as to how to help my new school have a new mind set in creating a school that values the benefits of a connected classroom. Assessment and product development has been on my mind especially. Any reads you recommend are appreciated!

Mariah Moon said… - Hi Anne! Yes, cloudware is just a term we are also using for Web 2.0 It works off of a presentation we have for our staff that gives a visual of all of these applications floating out in the cloud of the internet and not depending solely on the hardware we might have sitting in our classrooms.

Isabel Pessoa said… - The push has come strictly through the principal. He has gone all out on the technology front and has spent money and time on in-servicing staff to get everyone comfortable. He brings people along at their own comfort level. I am so excited about being part of this forum. I have already learned so much.

- Hi Anne, I agree with you. I like to use DVDVideoSoft Free Studio to convert YouTube videos and show them in Elluminate. Most schools block YouTube and there are some great videos there. The Angel LMS helps keep us organized as well. I also save my whiteboards from previous semesters and add to them so there is less daily preparation.

- Hi Anne, Our school website doesn't tell a lot about online learning. We use a program called Elluminate for live online classes so I meet my students and talk to them just like in a face to face class. We have a learning management system called Angel. This is where our lessons are kept and students can submit assignments and email. I do blog for my Wilkes university classes. Here is the link: http://kdreavercharles.blogspot.com/ I spent 9 years teaching in the far north. My students and myself were/are Aboriginal. It was a great experience. When I started with Credenda our goal was to offer online courses to Northern students who would not have access to the class choices we offered. Their regular school may only offer one Math class rather than the 3 available. Or they may have not passed Science 10 in the first semester and could take it online with us in the second semester rather than waiting a full year because it is only offered once in their schools time table. We now offer courses to any students throughout the province.
