22 & 23 EBooks & AudioBooks

Whoops...Just went back and check and this post did not appear. I love digital books and think that they open up so many learning possibilities in the classroom. They are a fantastic way to motivate reluctant readers. This is the way of the future.

Final Post

i have found this to be a wonderful experience and I have learnt so very much. While ther were some things that I already new about I have learnt a whole bucket of new things that I am keen to share. I will deffinately be going back a revisiting each post to really use each site/learning tool to their full potential.

21 Online Video

This is a fabulous resource. I am very keen for this forum to be opened up to students however I do acknowledge the potential dangers. I found a number of useful videos particularly on podcasting. The videos took a very long time to down load and I found it very difficult to attach to this blog...hence it not being here...however I think that the benfits of the resource far out way the down falls.

20. Podcasts

I am currently the technology teach at my school and I loved this topic as this is the direction I am moving my stage 3 students to next term. The possibilities with this technology are endless. I am looking forward to the challenge of both using podcasts as a teaching tool and having 60+ kids create there own podcasts.

19 Rollyo

This is an awesome idea. I have already created my list of websites and search ideas and am very keen to share this idea with my friends and peers. I can see that this would be very useful within the school environment especially when teaching different year groups or subject areas from term to term and year to year.

18. Wikis

I only discovered the joy of using Wikis last year, during an online project that I was doing with my class. Sadly the DET is yet to unlock this application for students to use so there application in the classroom is limited however an endless world of possibilities has been opened up as far as homework is concerned. I believe that wikis have a huge role to play in our education system and expanding our teaching skills.

17 Delicious

I was introduced to delicious about this time last year. I love it and is my favourite place to go looking for resources and ideas. I even have a few of my own resources up on the site mainly to do with G&T classes and IWB's.
I love, love, love this site.
