Thing #4

This week I registered my blog to share with you all.

I am really enjoying learning and infact cant wait to do more. I again found the Curriculum Connections to provide good information and tips, it also gave links to other blogs which have been created by schools and it was good to check them out and see how they are using blogs.

Thing #3

Setting up a Blog was fun and very easy and I found the tutorial to be most helpful. I will no doubt modify it a few times before I am happy with the "look" of my blog.

Creating the Avatar was loads of fun - the style you develop is based very much on your mood and how you are feeling at the time - hence the long coat I chose, not sure what thats saying really.....

Another interesting idea I read this week was from the curriculum connections which had a quote referring to the use of blogs. "Lead your students into areas of ‘big idea’ inquiry with a blog. You can get thoughts rolling, provide research links, and finish up with classroom discussions". I will definately use a blog for my students.

Thing # 2

Thing # 2 was to undertake a tutorial on the 7 1/2 Habits of highly successful life long learners. There was a lot of interesting information on this site but one I would like to share with you which successful lifelong learners believe is:

• Attitude is everything
• I will..., I can..., I do...
• Learner 1st
• It's never too late (or too soon) to learn something
• Learning opportunities at all ages and in all contexts

thing #1

This Classroom Learning 2.0 blog has been set-up as part of the CSLA School Library Learning 2.0 program to encourage all of us to experiment and learn about the new and emerging technologies that are reshaping the context of information on the Internet today.

As a individual in a group I/we will undertake this training over a 9 week maximum period to collect all 23 things. At the conclusion we will have a workshop to discuss and present the outcomes.
