4 events

Here are 4 events that inspired me to record my learning journey as a blog:
1. In November 2005 I attended Professional Development courses run by Jacqui Sharp – "Digital Cameras for real Beginners and 101 Ways to use your Digital Camera."

2. I was next inspired by Dorothy Burt who spoke about classroom blogging at a Teachers Conference in Palmerston North in January 2010.

3. My wonderful techie and future focussed husband, Julien, continues to inspire and challenge me to try out new "technology." Hence my iPhone is now my favourite device that I am addicted to and would be lost without. Together with my iPad it has made it so easy for me to keep in touch with current changes in technology.

4. The last event that catapulted me in the deep end and showed me what could be happening in my school, was attending the ISTE conference in San Diego in July 2012. This conference opened my eyes, inspired and motivated me to share my learning. This blog, hopefully, will have ideas to inspire you to get e-learning happening in your classroom.

TVs in the Classroom - A Great Teaching Tool

Superstorm Sandy link to the TV One
We couldn't have asked for more perfect timing for our latest C.O.T. topic - "Keeping Ourselves Safe".
We have been following the happenings of the latest superstorm to hit New York. Our TVs have given us wonderful videos and the latest news. Children today are so lucky!
Gone are the days of showing them newspaper pictures - now they can watch and discuss and interpret what is happening in real time.
Below is our latest brainstorm where we are thinking about after the storm - who are the people who will help and what will have to be done to clean up and try to get the homes   
back to before the disaster.
