Day 1 16-9-09

I am hear to develop my skills in ICT and be able to train other teachers. I believe all students to have assess to the internet and all the learning prgrams available for use.

First day, what a day of overload but towards the end of the day i was feeling more comfortable and starting to get my head around some of the new terms and web pages we have to use. I am planning to do my unit of work on our school values as Nappperby as just introduced new school values this term. Previously they were sharing, caring and communicating and now they are mastery, integrity, respect and responsibility.

I am looking forward to sharing alot of these ideas with other teachers and even using some of the tools with my own children at home.

Day 2 17-9-09

What a day. i think i am getting my head around alot more of the websites and new ideas. i do feel i am about 10 steps behind everyone as i have not heard of half the things they use in their classroom.. Never heard of a moodle until yesterday i do look forward finding more out about that.. The intel tools are interesting to use not too sure if i would use them to much as working with the younger grades but will see if i can adapt them.. My unit of work is slowly developing i will need to work hard on it tonight to try and finalised it.

Well this brings the end to another full on day of learning no wonder some kids are tired at the end of the day. Bring on the weekend.

Day 3 18-9-09

Another day is done and dusted.

My plan is nearly done just have to tidy up some ends and much sure it makes sense, whihc at the moment it doesn't. Still looks of gaps. Getting very scared about training other teachers and to ensuring that i train them right.

But will see what next week brings.

Day 4 I feel today i was finally getting a handle of different features and have put my unit up on the wiki. I feel really happy about how the completed work has turned out. Last day tomorrow. And then back to school to train everyone.

Final Reflection

I have learnt so much it is really hard to put it all down put here goes
 * Power point games
 * Audacity
 * Podcasts
 * Rubrics
 * All the intel learning tools
 * Thinkers Keys
 * My Own Wiki page for my class
 * Learnt about Moodle, Scootle, Wiki's wow so many wierd names but great ideas.
 * All the list goes on.

I feel a lot more confident incorporating ICT into my curriculum but more important spreading the news to others teachers. i think training other teachers will come easy as i think i know the material but it is about sharing ideas with other teachers.

I am feeling that i want to investigate furthe into ICT skills and uses.
