This is your space to put your goals for the use of ICT in teaching and learning. You can give everyone updates on how you are going throughout the year. At the end of the year, you can upload a short presentation showing the results of your work to this page. Have fun with this space!

At Year 3/4 day. I liked Suzi's people bingo idea. Circles with animals, numbers and sweet things. She has it on this page under downloadable was a good idea from a teacher. Done with word art.n

Hi Jane - I'm glad you found some useful resources from our day. It would be really great if you could also post here a goal related to the authentic use of ICT in your classroom. You were really patient with the issues we were having in our blogging workshop by the way :-) Yes Suzi, I am very patient!!. My goal was to crack into the class blog and, as you know I have begun to do this. I am very happy with the blogging and will continue with this. My lesser goal is to revisit some stuff eg Comiclife and to incorporate this into my blog. I will also keep up this wiki a bit more. (Won't be hard). Before I set a further goal I want to talk with my colleagues.

3rd July. More on blogging. This has been really successful as chn can now keep it up to date. They have made several entries and some can put photos in. My goal remains as above - to use comic life ion the blog and to have all kids able to make postings. Great to hear your kids are getting into blogging http://www.room18tis.learnerblogs.org/ has a list of blogs under "blogroll" I get my kids to comment on other kids blogs and this creates an audience for them as they also leave a link to their own blogs. It is easy to forget to get your kids to comment on other blogs, but that is a crucial part of blogging. Have a look on the post from June 27th on the blog link above for some hints on adding comments. Nigel@Korokoro Thank you Nigel and welcome to my wiki. 11 August Blogging continues successfully. I have looked at some other blogs and have some ideas to try. I am currently using Comic Life as an assessment activity relating to a recent unit on the D2P construction site. Have signed the class up to tutpup but this is recent so I have no feedback to report on yet.
