At the moment I am using a range of tools to try and develop my skills. I have a blog to try and capture my ideas and thoughts around ICT in the classroom at [|http://smallsteps.edublogs.org].

[|http://scomagdalene.wordpress.com] - sportcoaching webpage which is used to share materials with other teachers and to organise the resources used in the course.

[|http://pdhpe12.pbwiki.com] - Wiki to support the PDHPE HSC Course. It has a range of student created materials on there as well as other course material and resources that are useful in teaching the course. slideshare - we place student presentations on here to be able to add them to our blogs & wikis.

The students are presented with two points of view and asked to develop their arguments in an online environment [|http://puzzlingprimaryproblems.edublogs.org] /..... the purpose of this blog was to trial differentiation via blogs in the area of Mathematics [|http://mshearman.edublogs.org] /..... the purpose of this blog was to enable students to showcase their artwork in an online environment and also participate in art appreciation type conversation using a thinking framework

Some of the wikis....

My Class Blog (I have only just created this) [|http://stbrigidsyear52009.edublogs.org]

We use blogs and wiki's fairly regally through our curriculum delivery. We have found them to be particularly useful for our CLE (units of work) student reflections and a means to negotiate discussions particularly with more reserved students. This is just one example [[[] |Novel based Bolg]]

Another blog that we have developed was used as an assessment for one of our year 9 CLE's, where the students went on a hike. So a unit which had no use of technology throughout the delivery, was able to assess the students through the use of technology. This blog is only in the very early stages and will be added to over the coming weeks. [|Survivor North Era]

In terms of sharing students work we have asked students to publish their short films on teacher tube, where other students can make comments and in turn feel their work is valued within a public space. Some of these short mash ups can be found at [|Teacher Tube Student Work Samples]
