After attending a conference entitled "Learning@School" in Rotorua, NZ - I have come to accept that the sites I am trying to keep the kids away from during class, are in fact the type of sites I am now going to embrace to encourage the students to enteract and learn...
Sites like bebo.com have in the past been a real problem in the classroom - kids constantly trying to enteract with their peers and not doing their class work. So now my school, and other sister schools have joined the masses and created a cluster aimed at utilising these tools to encourage the kids to contribute, and more importantly - learn.
This blog is to keep a record of the process I am about to start tomorrow morning while attending our first cluster meeting with 5 other schools. I am taking four of my colleagues with me to share the adventure!
