Meet our new cooking show host - this is his first time on camera. [He will improve, as will our production values.]

International Kids Cooking Show



Whilst talking to my new friend Wes at the teacher conference I discovered he has a daughter excited about the possibility of making a cooking show. I wondered if any of you are interested in cooking. I certainly love cooking and so does Miss Freeman.
Have you watched Jamie Oliver's highly educational cooking shows? He is brilliant and has a social conscience as well.
I propose that if we can find suitable "hosts" and maybe use our school tv studio or cooking room, we could record brief cooking shows and share them online somehow. We could set up a cooking show internationally and get other kids from around the world and NZ to contribute. I bet Teaching Sagittarian's kids in Thailand would be interested. Perhaps each segment could be designed to share local cooking specialities?
What do you think?

Online Learning Communities

Blogs, Wikis and Microblogging are proving to be useful learning and teaching tools for me as a learner/teacher. My colleagues Heheboy and Efreeman are particularly helpful in designing amazing online learning resources and sharing ideas online via Twitter and so forth.
