What is the aim today?• I love workshops/

conferences where I come away with practical ideas/tips/websites to use in my class

• We learn by doing, So I will be giving you 5- 10 minutes sandpit time to explore/bookmark sites

• Open mind - you might not have iPads or the same technology as my school but you never know what you might get/or change schools

• Any other suggestions/ideas for useful sites or ways of integrating ICT-PLEASE SHARE!

Self/Peer Assessment

Boys love this - girls can make girl super heroes

Clear expectations of what they have to do

Highlighter - allows them to see if they are achieving the learning intention or not

Rubric - self/peer assessment - very honest, and acts as a checklist


Future goal - To implement Big Writing -VCOP - Ros Wilson
