  1. More the thinking stage for setting up on-line galleries where the kids have a real audience( outside their loving parents). Have been exploring tumblr a bit more too, getting my head around the possibilities for visual arts.

  2. I have been working with Edmodo with my students and they have really taken to it. I am still in the initial stages and have not fully utilised all that it has to offer.

  5. Notes at the end of the session:
    I’ve invited participants into Edistorm via email so we will try that again.
    Overarching task is for people to use their WordPress sites to get familiar with the technology so we can use it for ClassPortals / netvibes / space for student participation.

  6. Hi Web 2.0 Team-
    Have had some difficulties accessing Tumblr at my school. The website was blocked til this term. So was using the thinking prompts with pictures / books with my kids.
    Still yet to use tumblr.

  8. Hello everybody,
    I am looking forward to a great day today, I have it on good authority that the session is fantastic.

    I am using a blog with my grade six students. They are studying feral animals, first writing what they know already, then posing questions for each other. The answers from students have just begun to be posted.

    Eventually they will collaboratively design an imaginary feral animal or a trap for cane toads.

  9. I have a Year 6 class mostly using iPads – a new program. Still waiting on these to be properly configured (imminent)… then it will happen…

  10. All of my work is in a program called myPLS by Editure. I am afraid it is passworded. I have been experimenting with wiki, blog, and web quests related to specific lessons. One useful powerpoint developed out of some searching for graphics to teach cell organelles.

  11. Hi All,
    I’ve got my yr 6 kids to create a wordpress account so they can publish a range of work online and develop an online portfolio over the course of the year. A work in progress but I’m excited about the opportunities and so are the kids…
