How2Web2 - Final

My involvement with this online course has lead to great things.  Not only did Ann and I present at our Staff IT Conference at the start of term, but I have been chosen to trial the use of iPads in a class of Year 7 students next term, and I am being sent to a Conference in Hobart in July to learn even more about IT in the classroom.  The online course opened up so  many doors to so many different things!!! I now need time to digest it all and try to revisit some of the ones I wanted to spend more time on.  In the classroom I have had students make Motivational Posters on the MyBigHugeLab site (part of Flickr), 3 of my classes are signed up to Glogster, I have a group of extension students using Google Earth, Google Maps, GPS and much more as they design a program for next year's Year 7 classes on the school's history. My focus now is on iPads in the classroom, so if anyone out there knows some good websites and/or Apps for these, I would love to hear from you.

  1. How exciting that you have such opportunities come out of this course. It sounds like you have put so many applications to good use. I will search for a few good teaching apps for iPads. Great work!!
