My Scoop it page

I have now created my own Scoop.it page and have put RSS feed to my Google Reader.
This could be a great tool for students to create pages about their inquiry topic.

Followed a tweet from Jacqui Sharp to get this collection of articles about i-pads in education from a variety of sources.
My grand daughter uses my i-pad to play the piano, create art works, write stories and play educational games, she listens to music and stories and this is all on my i-pad first version so when I update she will have a lot more functions and apps to use.
I think it would be fab to have a set in any classroom - there is so much you can do! 

Found this on pininterest, I like it and might use it in a classroom for plenary discussion time.

Recording and sharing info and ideas

This is a great tool for students to make quick recordings to share. Download the app and use on class trips or sports events.

New but old ideas

I remember years ago using Alice to introduce chn to programming animations - the newer and revised Alice is still a great tool for chn to problem solve and create. It is a great tool to get them thinking - could be a maths tumble activity.

I can't believe it's already 10pm and I've been on Facebook for so long! What a time waster! Had my last day at the Herald Office on Friday so this is my first real day off, apart from edit my book I have done nothing and it was very easy to do.

Social Media Core-Ed workshop

Becky and I went to this workshop with DK from Core-Ed last week. It was a bit of fun, DK was really interesting and it was refreshing to hear from someone who was from a different background to teaching. I liked his sense of humour and laid back style. The school was amazing - all collaborative spaces and unlike any other school layout I have seen. I loved the way students lay back on bean bags while listening to the teacher. I bet the kids love it.

Looking through my old slideshare presentations and thought this may be useful for some people.
