Penny+-+Sacred+Heart

This is your space to introduce yourself and say what are your goals for using ICT effectively this year. At set points throughout the year, there is an expectation that you will update this page with information on how you're progressing. You might also consider the use of photos and other media to do this with. At the end of the year, we will be asking you to post a presentation to this space about your overall progress throughout this year. This could be easily achieved by making a presentation in Powerpoint/ Keynote and using web 2.0 tools to add it here.

Hi everyone, I'm Penny and I teach in Room Kakapo at Sacred Heart Petone. I am the Maths Lead Teacher for the school, and also look after the music in the school, which includes choir, cultural group, band, concerts and school musicals. This term I am focussing on Publisher in my class to present a healthy food menu, and to draw and present work on Life Cycles.

Hi again, My Term 2 goals are to use the DLOs in Maths for Multiplication and Division, and to teach the use of Comic Life to a small group of children as an Elective. My kids have used Publisher competently during the last term and have produced some great work, so this is an ongoing programme that they can use for presenting work.

Hi again, At the end of Term 2, I can say that I have used the DLOs although not as often as I probably should have (we had technical problems with not being able to download them), and we also had a great time doing Comic Life with a group of 8 students. I hope to show their work at the Expo during the holidays.  Look forward to seeing their CL work! you can order it for PC's now at $4 per machine. Let me know if you are interested. I have also dropped in a copy of the DLO's on disc for you and any one else who wants a copy in your school- you don't need the internet! Jeremy from onestopIT has sorted out the problem with Adobe Flash to get them working! Nigel@Korokoro
