Best tool for publishing student work....
Blogging, blogging, blogging.. So, was my reply to a query on classroom2.0 recently about the best tool for online student publishing.

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

The power of blogging for students
There have been so many success stories for my students with blogging but yesterday's example is one never to be forgotten. One of my year 10 boys has a learning disorder - he is a nice student but completes little in traditional subject areas-never a behaviour problem just rarely completes anything. Over the last two years he has been in my information technology classes as multimedia, photography and digital storytelling suit his learning styles. On commencing a blog, he was proud to upload so… Continue

My precious clustrmap
My poor little map, you started to break out in spots 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.

Where to start with web2.0
I was asked to present at a conference for regional teachers in SW Victoria, Australia today. The conference was called "It is a digital thing" and was held at Deakin University in Warrnambool. My topic was 'where to start with web2.0' so I am sharing the powerpoint presentation that I spoke along to, for any interested parties. Please note that these are my personal opinions and based on my relatively brief experience in its use.

Thanks for the welcome. I know that I am not alone in my technology frustrations. Unfortunately schools seem to have too few technicians and/or technicians that can actually teach teacher how to better use the technology. Our tech staff is really good but they have too much work and not enough time or hands to get it all done.
What's your grade?
Regards.
Hoping to meet you F2F.
