Intel Teach - three tools to assist teachers ( and therefore students ) to use the Internet more effectively, and an opportunity to create an unit to use - really! use - in the classroom. Wheeee!!

A comfortable day, although I have not sat for so long for a long time, in which an overview has been gained. Websites have been accessed and a start in looking at the tools. So far so good. The challenge in thinking about the Unit is to broaden out my initial thinking from a narrow specific 1 unit focus (in two topic areas - not knowing for sure what I would work with) through to a more generalised unit that will allow people to move in different directions and use higher order thinking skills as a routine part of this unit planning. I will get the course presenter to have look at my initial thinking at the beginning of day 2 Progress made, slowly - but getting there. Time needed to process and develop the Unit plan to make it more comprehensive - then edit. Just wanting to explore - collect website ref, download and store - make sure I have a full set resources. A good day. wheeeee - the weekend apporaches and we're more than halfway - brownie point score = 1 A good day with ideas being reshaped - reworked - rethought. Progress still happening. Time now availablbe to start the polishing after I get it into the computer. Well - unit loaded up - now the ongoing planning and further development. I want to work with HOTS resources, download material and check wikki, moodle further. Happy is. Resources checked with time available - thanks. Head cleared with seeing the scope of what others have been able to achieve - now I want to go back and review, add some more to tease out further - time will have to be watched. Feeling comfortable - genarally. Planning for delivery coming along - will have to negotiate with bossland and school T & D program - I'm relatively happy with thinkinh 24 - 26 hours will definitely be available and useful to all our staff in their Professional Development. The course has been a great experience - thanks Lyndsey - easy paced, tuned into what we were saying, doing, feeling - structured to keep interest high and practical - materials that can be used (really used) in the classroom. Fellow travellers have been open, willing to share resources and ideas, and humour has been a great feature. Thanks all.
