Mark M

Hi, my name is Mark. I am a teacher as St John the Evangelist High Nowra. I have been working there for 5+ years. I also live in Nowra with my wife and we have a daughter of 18 months.

The subjects I teach include: Geography - year 8 Getaway - an Integrated Learning Module (ILM) short course - year 7 Internet and Computer Technology (ICT) short course - year 9 Music - year 7 Religion - years 9, 10 and 11

I am a keen user of technology. This year I enrolled in a Bachelor of Technology (Computing Studies) at RMIT, through Open Universities Australia.

At school I am using lots of different apps including Dreamweaver, Excel, Filemaker, GarageBand, Inspiration, Photoshop, PowerPoint, Safari, Word, etc. In this Lighthouse LT course I'm hoping to learn more about blogs and wikis, web 2.0 apps, and other things I can use back at school.


 * Day 2 Thursday 28th April**

Today I learned a lot more about setting up blogs and incorporating a range of Web 2.0 tools. I plan to play with this more at home and eventually set up blogs for all of my classes. Hopefully this will lead to more engaging work in all of my classes. So thanks, Mark.
