#lats09 is going off

So far I've been really impressed with my breakouts with John Phelps and Allanah King who have enthusiastically flooded me with a wealth of useful ICT tips, applications to try and an infectious [not in a bad way] excitement for learning.

Allanah's adobe eportfolio ideas are simple yet powerful. We can embed audio visual records of student achievement directly into documents. e.g. A child's progress in swimming can be video recorded and shared for evaluative purposes. So much more powerful and useful for instruction.
Wow :-)

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.

i will miss you guys...

...while I'm at the Learning at Schools conference for teachers in Rotovegas this week
I hope some of you can get online during my presentation [around or before Thursday afternoon] and leave interesting comments on the blog so teachers can witness you interacting with me, [possibly] live. while I present work on students blogging.
If you have any thoughts on the value of blogging as an educational tool you could discuss them here and we will review them at the conference. And how do you feel about the difference between being kept in classrooms and being able to get outside and interact with the world?

I value your input - you are powerful learners and powerful teachers.

kia kaha
