ICT Lead teacher meeting

Today we had our ICT Lead Teacher meeting.  I have learned some new links which I will try out including:

toonlet.com - great to create comics etc - could be used for reading retells etc

mathzlinks wiki - has some great links for each maths stage

snack tools - great to upload kid pix and create slide shows etc.

We also discussed  RSS feeds (googlereader etc) which are a great tool to keep up to date with things happening on other blogs/wikis etc.   Also created my own igoogle homepage and  google reader/alerts to track things.  Amazing the number of things you can do on Google!! 

Will have fun this weekend playing around with these new applications and how they can be applied in my classroom.

Glad you had a good day - I learned SOOOO much! I've got a few suggestions for your personal blog which you can ignore if you prefer! 1 - make a list of the other lead teacher blogs in your gadgets on the side bar (they are all listed on our blogroll on the wiki). 2- Post more regularly (say fortnightly) and then you can link to it on your appraisal document as proof of teaching as inquiry. 3 - Add the other lead teacher blogs to your RSS feeds and leave comments to encourage each other! Or not - ha ha!!! BJ
