I’m getting excited…

… that I will finally be introducing my students next week to some online tools beyond simply using Google.  I have spent this week setting up 90 blogs for the new crop of Year 9 students joining our experiential learning program next week.  I have set up a group blog, and one each, and they will be asked to respond to several of their tasks throughout the term via their blog. In the following term, it is hoped that our new learning space will be completed, and we will have easier access to technology. At that time, I hope to be able to add more elearning activities to the program.

 On another note, I was just reading the CoolCat Teacher Blog, and saw a great link to a Wiki being created to showcase the best education videos online - you know, all those great inspiration videos that have gone viral in the last few years?  Check out what they have collected so far at http://ad4dcss.wikispaces.com/Video .  Hmm, I’m a bit surprised that ‘Pay Attention’ isn’t up there yet…..
