Our new site

It is nice to be having the time to catch up on a few things at home and school. The men have been working on the heat-pumps in the hall and Office area this week and Ray, the new caretaker, has had his first day 'on the job'.
For anyone with a PC have a look at earth.google.com and moon.google.com. Both are very cool.... in the 'earth' one you can measure things and I have just been looking at how big the pyramids are compared to our school grounds - WOW!!
I hope everyone has a good holiday!!

I'm not really a computer geek ...

On the first day of the holidays Miss Sutherland and I went to an ICT conference and I am very excited about the new things I can bring back to our classroom! I have set up a Web Note page where we can post messages for each other and I am now looking into how we can use blogging to record all the great things that happen in our classroom and keep our site up to date.

I also looked at Podcasting. So very soon we will be making some radio shows to be hosted on our website for friends and family to listen too. I am very excited about the possibilities!!

I also taught some teachers how to use Inspiration at this conference. It is great to see the enthusiasm of teachers around Dunedin!
