Attendee+20

My name is Lisa Gannon and I am Head of the Bunning Resource Centre at Scotch College. I enjoy learning about Web 2.0 applications and how teachers are using them in the classroom. ECAWA 2009 seemed like a good conference to atttend. So far I have learnt to Twitter which I will continue to use. I was impressed with the new applications for to use Google Earth and liked the animal tracking but don't know how I can use it. I found out that Mine node is an effective concept map application. We do not have Inspiration on all of our computers any more so I am looking forward to trialling this. I thought that both keynotes were excellent.

At Scotch I have used Blogs with Year 8's in English. We have a closed environment which is good in one way but I next want to open it up to the whole world. My reservation with this is that we only use the blog for about 2 weeks so there is no ioption for an on-going dialogue. i like the idea of the boys putting something onto Wikipedia, am trying to think how to apply this to what we are doing next term.
