Thanks for an awesome sharing. Would you like to know something about using Fairy Tales? If so visit [|www.wailite.wikispaces.com]Traditional Tales - Pauline. also I have placed my presentation slightly abreviated on http://chocolatefish.wikispaces.com/ Its in 3 sections. Have fun

[|http://www.techlearning.com/printablearticle/8670]here is Bloom's Taxonomy digitally - and i think the Digital map is quite useful in terms of the key terms - ie. creating, evaluating, analysing, appying, understanding and remembering has the addition of what this means in a digital world...gives some ideas of what fits where. This is the revised version of Blooms.

Here are some links to blogs that I follow and said I would share with you. I just find it quite good to see what people are doing and thinking. [|http://conectd.blogspot.com]This is by Lesley Craven and her husband Mark - who are teachers at Southwell school where I worked before - Mark is a technology teacher and Lesley worked in Year 3 for years before moving into Year 7 - so has practical experience and knows the real issues teachers face. Being at Southwell, may make the resources they have at times at the level a lot of schools don't have, good to read the blogs tho. [|http://allanahk.edublogs.org/]this is the woman that is talked about in latest gazette. I have written to her to ask some questions and she has replied already and offered to help me face to face if i go to the Learning at Schools conference or via her sharing with me via her desktop - what ever that may mean ? Pauline you may be able to shed some light on what this means ? [|http://tonyryan.edublogs.org/]a learning/teaching guru from what i can understand from Australia. [|http://nickrate.com/]the guy that was a e-fellow in 08 and wrote research into eportfolios.

This might be enough for now, I have others I follow too - but don't want to bombard you !

[|http://www.poetry4kids.com/]This site may have ideas for you to share new technologies - see the podcasts of poems.

[|http://eduspaces.net/dwarlick/weblog/]another blog to see - some ideas re; ICT and literacy worth reading.

Hi Tracy, Im attending L@S and have a workshop with Alannah King. She is fantastic. Im going to invite her up to present at our cluster so will keep you posted. By her desktop she means Skype or one of her blogs or Wikis. You have made a great start here. Ive been working with Y charts and student writing and teachers are very positive.  I would be very interested in hearing her too, if she is in cluster -that would be fantastic. Thanks for that. keep me informed, Tracy  Thank you for all these links. I will set aside time to look at them and see if i can add anything worthwhile. Vicki

I have some questions under the information section - the page Pauline set up for questions .....go to 'information' on the left hand side....can anyone answer any of these. ? thanks, Tracy

5.3.09 -Another site to look into - e-research by NZCER - [] the first publication for 09 [] the main page of the e-research site. Tracy 5.3.09 - talking /telling story with photography - with learning tasks to develop skills [] This is really good, not sure how we incorporate in our job, but maybe a resource we can recommend ?? Will need to think on it for me - not sure if fits with decoding, definately critical literacy tho. Tracy

16.3 A fantastic example of digital portfolios [] There are 2 examples on this page. It is beyond what I know how to do tho, but maybe someone, somewhere can show me how to do this. Tracy

23.3. Interface magazine .....online, go to 'lesson plans'...some great ideas ...simple and easy to get going in ICT/literacy.. [] Tracy. p.s. Thanks Pauline for getting me onto Interface ....
