Getting started- digital microscopes and blogging...

This clip really resonates for me- having been part of the project Tania talks about in this clip and also needing an interpreter at uLearn Conferences in the beginning! I haven't blogged in a Kindergarten as this team did( and still does even when the teaching team has changed ) but the rest could have been a snippet from the team I was in at the time re: magnification and learning outcomes. Their blog has been going for many years now- take a peek... http://manaiakindergarten.blogspot.co.nz/

to facebook or not to facebook....

This is an area I am interested in.... I don't like facebook myself as a personal tool but recognise it's market share as a social media tool. Is it a good way to get 'housekeeping' info out there? It seems to be. What else does this connect you to though? How do privacy settings work for the friend of a friend? Is it useful (bearing in mind that Facebook is not for children) as learning support mechanism....

philosophy, good teaching, vision - alongside the tools...
