Hi Jane. I like google.docs to but I do find there are some limitations. For collaboration and sharing work it is fantastic but it still has a long way to go as a word processing program. I started the year […]

Perhaps it has gone full circle and now books are the new novelty items!

Hey David
MyScript Calculator is fun to use but it does less really than a regular calculator. It is more a convenience thing really then anything else. It could not be used to replace a regular calculator as […]

You are totally right about the number of useless apps! I spent some time looking for apps specifically designed for my subject area and was pretty disappointed. Mostly they seem to consist of revision notes […]

I think that I have always been positive about my DF but restricted at the same time. For example my privacy settings are set to the max on facebook and I’ve recently discovered that that is more of a hinderance […]

Recently, I have been introduced to the magical world of the iPad. I have now completely “i-ed up”. I have iEverything. I’m amazed at all the different apps out there. I hadn’t realised just how many there […]

I would love to hear about your friend making the flipped classroom work. I would also like to hear about how his students find it. I look forward to your next post!

If it is ease of creating these videos you want, try Explain Everything or another one is Show Me . These are both great apps that you can use on your iPad and they are really easy to use.
I like the idea of […]

There is a lot of discussion of how dangerous your “DF” or digital footprint can be. It can get you fired, ruin your relationships, land you in gaol and it is permanent. You can’t erase it. Once it is out there, […] -
Merilyn Winslade commented on the post, Sousveillance Anyone?, on the site MJ's Edu Zen Zone 3 weeks, 3 days ago
I’m wondering if we are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Why do we expect privacy when we are in public? If I’m photographed in a bar how can that be a violation of my privacy? I’m in a public place. I […]

Merilyn Winslade commented on the post, Hyperlinks’n’stuff, on the site iTeachArt 4 weeks ago
Nice one! I have to say that I didn’t click on a single one of your hyperlinks! And I definitely felt a twang of annoyance when I saw that you had hyperlinked those images until I realised you had included them […]

Merilyn Winslade commented on the post, Tonight’s To Do List, on the site Merilyn's Meanderings 3 months ago
I think the difference was just that with the school blog, I had so many other things to contend with at the same time and everyone kept telling me that I didn’t have to rush with it, so I just put it on the back […]

So is Mindmeister just the google version of Inspiration? Have you tried Inspiration? If so are there any advantages to using Mindmeister over Inspiration?

Merilyn Winslade commented on the post, ATL (Study) Skills: Embedded or Separate?, on the site History in Luanda 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I think they should be embedded in the regular classes. Teaching ATL skills without a context is as pointless as teaching anything when you can’t make it relevant. However, for the lower grades especially, I […]

Hey Aja! I was also just introduced to the back-channel (I’m never going to get used to saying that), at that PD that Sangeeta mentioned. For the first day and a half of the PD, I completely missed the point. I […]

Hi Victor – I see that you are also up late completing your project by the deadline! You beat me by 40 minutes!
I think your unit plan is great. I have one question for you though and that is to do with the […]
