Interesting Uses of ICT / Vokis

I've just visited a class blog for a Year 1 class. They have used the Voki to ask questions and the

children can then click on comment and give their answers. They had some great spelling ideas too.

Lots of great ideas and links to other blogs.

Hi everyone. Been playing with backgrounds just for fun and variety.

See what you think. Quite 'girly' though. If anyone finds some more

'masculine' ones please let me know.

There are two sides to every story...

The price of eggs

Brilliant Justine!  The enthusiasm you cultivate with your class is infectious - it has created a real positive vibe around the school.  Very cool.

ICT Fun and Games

Have loved exploring the resources Craig shared.

Working on upskilling IWB skills. Have cancelled After School Maths

Club with the intention of using this time to complete the online

courses at Promethean. Anyone else keen??

Showed the kids what we did on Friday and, of course, they took

everything on board and immediately decided how they could

adapt it to their own learning. Love my kids!

They are now working on identifying ways they can use ICT in the

trip to Dunedin next week. Very exciting! I can't wait to see what

they come up with. So proud of them.

Activboard Friday

Had a brilliant day exploring more about what the Activboard can do. SO much to learn! Really enjoyed finding out how to do and use containers properly - thanks Nat!!

Really looking forward to having a play around with all of these new skills this weekend.

E-learning and Inquiry

Enjoyed the QLC and it was great to have the time to be able to concentrate on the next stages in our Inquiry.

Really looking forward to the next techie.

It's been really exciting to see the innovative ways the technology is being used and adapted for learning by the children. They are awesome thinkers.

A Play with Adding A Keynote

Have had a play with adding a keynote using slideshare.net

I got so excited that I added it before I'd even finished it!!!

Will add it again but in the finished version.

Flip Videos and Learning

Had a lot of fun today using the flip videos in reading and writing to find out more about where our epals live.

The children created their own rubrics for assessing their learning. They've taken to using these really well and are very critical thinkers when analysing their progress.

They recorded their questions and answers in lots of different ways. There is even a song coming so I'm told!
