I have read, viewed, listened, downloaded and streamed a range of digital information that exists in cyberland!  It’s all relevant and beautifully necessary for a career as a secondary teacher willing to embrace and implement the tools of our Digital Generation.  Here’s a re-cap of some of the things I have really enjoyed.

• A really cool video we watched in our first lecture was THIS one!

I enjoyed the Skype session with Chris Betcher in our second lecture and have since reviewed his BLOG. I appreciated his ideas that encourages students to present in front of a class using only images within their powerpoint presentation for stimulus.  I have seen my own daughters in school struggle with delivering their “news” because they spent the entire time looking down at their notes written on palm calms trying to decipher what they had written.  Similarly while on Prac I noticed one of my Year 11 classes struggled with the same lack of creative thought.  The use of images to stimulate the  delivery of a presentation is a very basic and simple introduction of technology in the classroom and can be implemented from a very young age. I would love to see the primary schools encouraging this method for good quality news!
