Strengths: Networking, breakout sessions, yummy food, catching up with other like-minded people, nice venue and excellent organisation

Weaknesses : Drawn out key notes, long days, limited places to sit down, eat and/or relax, diners had to pay for beer

So What’s:   Work to key note time frames, use the Trust Room as a blogger’s cafe etc, substitute red wine for beer

Feed Forward: A fantastic conference.  We now plan to work smarter and have as many cluster and ancillary staff from PeaK-ICT as possible attend next year.

BubbleShare: Share photos – Play some Online Games .

AllanahK is such an inspirational presenter because she is down to earth, her sessions are what I would term ‘cruize mode’ and she certainly makes the best of every time and situation.  I thoroughly enjoy her wit, wisdom and wonderings….

To find out more about this wonderful educationalist just google “AllanahK” (using speech marks” to narrow the search) grab a cuppa coffee and maybe a chocolate fish or two… and have a great read!  Everything you may want to know is also located at http://allanahk.edublogs.org/

Okay, now this is the last session of the day… the eleventh hour must be so hard for presenters.  Chrissie seems like a peaceful personality and so I imagine she will impart her knowledge and our time together will be fun.

Voicethread – reflection/review conference report back

Can be downloaded as a Quicktime movie

Can embed into wiki and be ‘added’ to

Think of using Voicethread to do things like Meetings

Check embed into School Zone

Inspire + listen and reflect + collaborate and trust

NB: Love the little laminated tags Chrissie gave out as quick reference to Voicethread

Okay…so now the day is over and it is time to head back to KingsGate for a nanny nap, maybe a spa and to refresh for the conference dinner…

Looking foward to…good food, drink, entertainment and great company – what more could we want:)

The second to last session for today and I had to catch up a bus to Rydges.  There I met up with Robyn – we spent time catching up on school and staff days together…. She commented on my paua watch and briefed me on a book she’d been reading about looking at the 3 most interesting parts of your body and accentuating them with personalised jewellery.  I guess my wrists ‘do me well’ so she noticed them.

Need to define the words teacher and learning leader

Question: Where do I see myself as a learning leader?

Should I term the children I teach, students or learners?

Check selfdirectedlearning.com

Should learners access and self manage their homethink?
