ICT and Learning-an AHA Moment

Sometimes very simple things that are connected can lead to something quite powerful.

For a while now I have struggled showing (even to myself) how (and if) all this ICT has had a real impact on my children's learning. At last I think I can. From a simple idea from the Rellco/Best weekend where it was suggested taking a daily photo of learning, to Lorraines challenge to give this learning a focus on ICT in action already I can see it does really help with learning.

So each day I am going to capture ICT use in action FOR LEARNING. Because of this simple activity I am already more aware of the amount of ICT I use for teaching and learning-I think I am taking some of it for granted.

This is a photo from Hira School - I will use it for motivation about The Seasons. That sounds simple enough doesn't it BUT I met Tia ,the teacher on her blog when she was an e-fellow in 2009. Because I was following another e-fellow from our school I discovered Tia's wonderful work on Picture Books. Later in the year I flew to Nelson to visit her and kowhai kids. I shared lots of great things with my kids in 2009 and therefore that helped their learning.

We often clicked onto their classblog (listed in one of my earlier posts).
