Big day May 25th !!

In case any Educators do read this blog. Carolyn MacCauley is organising a meeting for us on Friday May 25th. Apparently there will be an announcement soon regarding the future of "Cluster Educator's". Carolyn is currently replacing Cherri Messerle in at EMR. On May 25th we will be discussing 2008 either what next OR Where to now ?

frappe' or frappr !!

I always thought a frappe' was like an iced coffee !! Robyn Floyd commented under the last post about a website called frappr it has a world map and you can 'pin' yourself and make a statement to the world. Have a look. Also visit Robyn's comment for more detail.

Robyn also sent around an email in January with some great sites. 24 hour museum a collection of games, interactive activities and teaching resources.
Rafi.ki is an international community just for schools where students can publish their work. Well worth a look. Thanks Robyn.

Our own Blog

Well folks, we now have our own Blog. This resulted from the email conversations that were flying back and forward in response to the reference Gary Bass made to an article by Olsen on teaching to learning styles that was on our distribution list. Apparently Olsen concluded that teaching towards students' preferred learning styles in unproductive, and can even be detrimental. It provided immediate debate and discussion.

So we now have a forum for commenting, discussing and keeping in touch. Feel free to practice your ICT skills and leave a comment and when you feel more confident, make a POST. We will be using this Blog , more like a
WIKI , where we can all contribute.

Looking forward to hearing from you all and reading your thoughts.
