John, Well done on your proesentation to Ungarie Central School from Wollongong. It was quite exciting to witness this event!

Launch Pad ~ links and resources for teachers & educators

Been working with technology and education for some time now. Have created and gathered together some resources that you may find useful....

First of all a presentation, What is Web 2.0?, and another with points relating to application of the technologies ~ getting started.

Web 2.0 links and resources: Here you will find online guides and resources for applications and tools as diverse as Twitter, Second Life, Wikis and more. There are links to classroom blogs, wikis, Second Life sites, teacher blogs and a variety of advice from educators near and far.

How to guides. This page is chock-a-block full of pdf guides to blogs, wikis, Twitter, RSS feeds, Posterous and much more. Feel free to download and use these guides. Worpdress has just been updated so that guide is a little out of date.

Blogrolls. These are some of the blogs that I read some of the time, not all of the time.

I have uploaded four rough edits of an interview recorded by Nanyang Technological University. Four questions were answered. Click on each question to view the relevant video. You will need to ensure you have Quicktime installed.

What is Web 2.0?
How can teachers and students exploit Web 2.0 technologies for teaching and learning?
How can teachers benefit from web 2.0 technologies?
How can students benefit from web 2.0 technologies?

Of course, you can also explore my main web site and subscribe to the blog if you wish.

Cheers, John.

Getting started ~ putting knowledge into practice

Following the excellent Weaving Technology conference that was held in Wagga last October I composed a few ideas regarding the thought or process or getting started with technology in the classroom.

I blogged about these ideas here on my main blog ~ Watershed.

Essentially, when starting out with technology in the classroom I feel it is useful to keep the following three rules of thumb in mind...

1. Choose a… Continue

Connecting

It is great to see other teachers joining this Ning. Working together to get a handle on how technology can allow your students to connect, collaborate and create in new ways is definitely the best way to go. Working in isolation can be debilitating and throw up barriers that may seem insurmountable.

This NIng can act as a springboard to connecting with other teachers and educators from all walks of education life. Fantastic work… Continue
