Still working away at my goals. Used IWB for writing this week, with learning intetions and my modelling. Was great to have saved and to go back to. Did a bit of 'revealing' to encourage them to remember what a recount needs to have. Would like to scan childrens writing in next, and do a bit of critiquing. Maybe a child could writie on the board for the day? Might try that.

Found a good website for word level work- cvc words and letter clusters. Heaps of online games and print outs.

Update

Well, here we are in May and I'm just getting back to the blog! What a busy term! I'm still going with my goal of trying to use the IWB for everyday things in my room- I don't always remember. It's been frustrating when I load flip charts/ programmes on to the IWB lap top, and the next time I start it they're gone! Most annoying having to waste time sorting it out, and not sure why this keeps happening.

Additional goals include
  • Check out the extra equipment in my room (apparently I have a slate, scanner etc)
  • Use the IBW for voice recording
  • Use scanner to critique childs writing
  • Work with kids to find a way for them to save things on Kidpix so I can find them again
  • Chd to follow instructions when using flip videos independently
  • Setting up our classroom blog
  • Using ICT purposefully in our brain unit

Do you think thats enough to keep us busy? Guess I have to teach reading and writing in there too!
