Lane Clarke

It was fantastic to meet the truly inspirational Lane Clarke at the ULearn10 conference in Christchurch. I first met her at Elm Park School for a 2 day workshop and then had the privilege of listening her keynote presentation "Real Learning - It's BIGGER than Inquiry".

I have written a comment about a post on my class blog and I think it is waiting for moderation. How do I do this so the students can read the comment? Please help!

Blogging

Had a great lesson on blogging today. Getting my class blog up and running. Room 17 Superstars. Still very confused about all the accounts, usernames and passwords but this time I wrote them down. A lesson learned from when I first started on this ICT journey.

The class blog will be a place that the students will eventually take ownership of and be uploading their own work, reflecting on their work and that of their peers. First they will learn how to use vocaroo to record themselves reading from a book at their reading level. Using vocaroo will develop the students fluency.

ULearn10 Christchurch - presenting with colleagues - scary thought!!
Spent several hours today discussing ideas to present at a national ICT conference. What have I got to offer? What can I possibly teach other people? Everything I know has been done before and by more experienced people. Will our submission be accepted? Watch this space....
