Workshop 1 - Getting Fit for Thinking
Presentation can be accessed from the presentations tab at http://thinkingworkshop.wikispaces.com/ You will also find other workshops on thinking that may have useful ideas for your classroom. The Drape software can be accessed from the Software tab. Feel free to explore and find useful ideas for your professional learning.

ICT PD Online
Everyone can access the oline area at http://ictpdonline.org.nz If you went to the Learning @ School Conference you will have a username and password for th area. If not, on the login page, click "Add user account" and create your own - use lower case and no gaps. Choose something you will remember e.g. the same format as your email for the username - jill.hammonds - and your regular password. On the first access to the area you will be asked for an access code - this is **ictpd** Once in, enjoy exploring the areas - particularly the themes and discussions - Time4Online Conference from 2007 has all the web 2.0 tools information and a whole lot more. Time4Innovation will be starting up in May. The current theme is on interactive whiteboards. Two new areas that I forgot to show you last week are the Media Centre where you can access media clips on a variety of topics. This area is just developing but will grow as we access more material. The other area is the effective practice rgister where we have listed names and contct details of people who have strong areas of interest or expertise. This is very useful if you are developing particular areas in your PD programme, want to visit schools to see a particular focus etc. You can access these from the main page or from the Resources section of the navigtion bar on the left.

Have fun and keep in touch if you need any further info. My email address is jill.hammonds@core-ed.net
