WE HAVE A WINNER...
Thanks to all who entered the Wiki and Blog quiz. Several teachers scored ten out of ten, and the winner of the prize (Flow by Mikhail Csikszentmihalyi)was Patricia Andersson. Incidentally, it was a self-grading quiz using Flubaroo. Let me know if you want to try that out yourself.
MET AND GREETED
We had an excellent turn out at the Upper School Library Meet and Greet. Many colleagues enjoyed the refreshments organised by Nancy and the Library and had a look at the new resources which have recently arrived in the Library. Much Winter borrowing ensued.
WIKI and BLOG CHAMPIONS
Our colleagues also shared their Wikis and Blogs which they have each been developing. I am very happy that there is no template; each teacher works in his or her own way and there were many fruitful discussions. I am hopeful, following several conversations I had, that a new wave of ISL teachers will establish their presence online to the benefit of their students and colleagues.
NEW YEARS'S RESOLUTION OR A PD GOAL?
Should you be thinking of joining their ranks, here are some examples of the wikis and blogs our colleagues use in their work at ISL. Some of them are Private to the teacher and invited colleagues and students, but I am sure you will be admitted if you request it (you will need a wikispaces log in for those). The rest of the wikis and blogs are Public to those who have the link (not Googleable, though).
