ICT+integration

I do love technology. I do not use technology in my classes as much. I even don't have smart board in my classrooms. :) I mostly use educational, instructional videos from youtube (famous artworks, famous artists while I teach biographies of famous artists). I use a few web sites while I teach theory of music. However, I am planning to use voice thread in the future. I created one just to see how it's works (please, don't laugh at me, it was 6 o'clock on Saturday morning, hahah....:). [|http://voicethread.com/#u746817.b928403] I could use voice thread to share students' artwork, where they could talk about their work and share their thoughts. Voice thread is very easy to create with your students. Try it, and see if it is something you could use in your classroom. :) Arina.

That is great Arina. Checked it out. Is anyone interested in posting to my gamesweliketoplay wiki? I would really appreciate some input. Thanks. G I will post some. I talked to our physical education teacher, she will share with me games they play, and I will post it. Arina.

Thanks so much for that Arina. My kids are wondering a little. Maybe yours are also wondering if WE are EVER going to make direct contact with them. I will get my kids to answer your kids via their e-pals addresses on Monday!! we are working until noon Irish time on Thursday 22nd but I am not taking formal classes after today!!!. Gerard

Hey Gerard, we do what we can, right? :) I just handled pack of homework for Christmas break to my International club students. I hope they still like me, haha. I did include emails. They will have free time and will be able to write emails during next 2 weeks. We are on the break Dec. 23- Jan. 3. We will see what will happenes. Arina.

Hey Arina, my kids are putting some more material on the Ireland page and also, one child, Tara is e-mailing various pupils from the participating countries. Small steps... G

Gerard, that's wonderful! I just seen one of my student in the restaurant and reminded her, she got homework for winter break! :) I really really hope my students will work on the wiki while we are out of school. :) Arina.

I've just added a link to one of our assemblies...First Thing Friday mornings!!! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63187246/GreenBootgreenAssemblyInspection.MP4
