Day with George Couros

Had a great day with a phenomenal speaker on using social media to create meaningful and authentic learning experiences for students and using the web to make global connections.

Great start with a videoclip "Be more dog"

Some great and provocative quotes too
 - Help move people from their point A to their point B
- At the end of the day, kids should leave dead tired - not the teachers!!

Started my own twitter account (:-)

in order to make connections with other educators around the world, revised Blogger and started to think how can I use these in the classroom. Why have students write in books where the only audience is the teachers - Why can't students Blog to an authentic audience about their amazing work and have others comment. Food for thought!

Morning Work

We just love our morning work.  Each day we spend 5-10 minutes writing either a list or sentences about our alphabet/sound picture.  Our writing has improved soooo very much especially our use of sounds we know, capital letters and full stops.  Well done Kindergarten.
Photos to follow soon!

Here goes....

Today I created my own blog to diarise my year.  I hope to share the journey with you as both Kindergarten and I all grow as learners.
