Module 2

Blogging
Something which i find can be both a waste of time or a fantastic communication and discussion tool when done properly. Have had both experiences over the years.
Our school has an annual Central Australia Trip for students interested. We used to do a journal along the way which was written into a book and everyone would take turns. Now we have also included a blog site so parents at home can get instant (depending on where we are) news and updates on all the exciting adventures we have been on. All students have the access to the site and can add in any personal stories etc.
I found the brilliant blogs section really interesting to see how other teachers utilise this form of technology as am always after new ideas.
Have been on twitter for a number of years now personally but have not used it in an educational way with students, something which am open to.
Particularly liked the Apps for Education as there are many which have not explored yet, our yrs 7 and 8's have Ipads so definitely will be looking into apps a little more.
