Another excellent Edublogs.org blog

Once you have done your sports report in your book you then need to put it into a newspaper format. Follow this link to go to a good site to this.

You need to print the article when you have finished, and stick a picture on the sheet to give it some interest.

I have been having real trouble implementing the fantastic google docs work that Tom Barrett has been explaining in his blog around assessing in google docs. In the school, google docs is blocked, and therefore this is not possible to do.

However, i have looked into Zoho writer as an alternative. This looks quite good and fairly simple to use. All you need is a free account, and you can share with others who can write on your documents (you have to have an account to write on someone elses doc. To view you don’t). So i am getting the eXcel group to complete on some English work in Zoho. They will then share this just with me, and then i can mark the work and they can access their account and see what changes i have made or corrections they need to do. You can, apparently, also collaborate in real time, but i think that is for another day.

Hi.

Here is a copy of the staff training powerpoint i delivered to the staff at my school. It covers the real basics of using technology to improve teaching, and hopefully gives some practical ways to use technology, and the new web 2.0 apps, in the classroom.
