So long, farewell...

This is the link to my final English assignment for uni. We had to create a multimodal assignment using ICT and discuss the issues of teaching English in the 21st century. Of course I listed new technologies as one of the major issues, and I stumbled upon a technique called "flipping" your classroom. What an amazing way of using ICT to teach your class! There is so much potential and the options are endless.

Comments on other students' VELS post

Commented on Elizabeth Wood's blog, Lizachu's Life.

"Liz, I really like how you've integrated ICT into your classrooms for both your methods. My methods are the same as yours and you've given me some great ideas for how I can implement ICT into my future teaching practice as an English AND Humanities teacher, as up till now I've mainly had opportunities to use it in humanities but have had a few issues with using it in English in the senior years."

Commented on Chris Brown's blog, Educating with ICT.

"Hi Chris,

What an excellent task! What a perfect way to combine your journalistic background with your new career.

I find with Year 7's there is so much possibility when it comes to enriching their learning experiences using ICT. They are so much more eager to please and I find they (girls in particular) love the opportunity to show off their creativity. Your question to the students "does content need to be sacrificed for the sake of design" is an interesting one and it forces them to consider the different purposes of writing. All in all, it seems like you gave them a really engaging task and I might have to use it myself in future :)"
