My name is Cara and I'm a primary school teacher in Sydney participating in the Web 2.0 online course for CEO teachers. I registered for the course as I realise the importance of integrating technology into the curriculum and I'd like to work towards broadening my understanding and skills in this area - specifically in relation to Web 2.0. It's also a great opportunity to share this learning experience with my colleagues. We'll be able to support each other as we go through the course.
I found the recommended videos in Module 1 to be very informative. My understanding of the many tools available to teachers (eg blogs, wikis...) prior to viewing the videos was very 'piecemeal'. I feel a lot more confident that I have a more cohesive understanding of how these technologies could work together in creating meaningful learning experiences for students.
I've really enjoyed customising my iGoogle page and navigating my way around the Wetpaint wiki (although I have to admit that I have lost my way more than once!). My goal now is to challenge myself to extend my use of technology in the classroom to include what I'll be learning about during this course.
Until my next blog - take care -Cara
