This is a blog that I have started with a group of students at my ‘new school’ – Oamaru Intermediate. Through this blog we are looking to celebrate the students’ literacy skills (written, oral and visual) and keep the community (and beyond) up to date with the happenings in our school. We meet once and week, and in between the sessions the students are now looking for many opportunities to plan and prepare some ‘meaty’ topics!
Another aspect that is developing is the use of a wide range of tools to plan, prepare and present our information. Already the students have been introduced to Audacity (audio clips), Bubbleshare (the files of still photos) and of course Blogging. Our range of skills and tools will continue to develop as our blog grows! Keep an eye on it -and please feel free to give them feedback on what they have put together so far in the first 2 sessions
