Last night I presented a PowerPoint to staff entitled Rich Resources, Rhetoric and Reality. eTeachers have a role in helping these things come to a converging point so that students are engaged and learning outcomes are improved. It was well received.
Today was very busy. The Reference Group met for the first time and generated lots of things for me to do in relation to the District. Valuable connections were formed.
I also met with Trevor and he showed me how to use edWeb. I think I need to use the tools we have been given and that is one of them. Other teachers want to know how to use them too.
At lunch time the SMART Board interest group met. I learnt a more effective way to hold the giro mouse. The key is to use the thumb to click left and right mouse.
In the afternoon I had a successful talk with an eLearning project officer. Consequently Cecily can now Moodle using the Departments current site. We were part of the Moodle trial last year and that connection has been cut.
I wrote an article for the Wallara Newsflash to update people on what has been happening. Next week I must create a book chat about The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley by Colin Thompson and Amy Lissiet.
