Welcome First Year Teachers!

Alix and I have used different features of "web 2.0" (using the web to present information as well as retrieve it) for today's presentation. Alix is using a website for teachers called 4Teachers.com which offers online tools and resources for both teachers and students. I will be using blogger.com which is a very user friendly blog format. Gary Prodanas will be showing you Moodle later in the year which combines many of the features of both.

Alix's website information on 4Teachers

Blogging can be such a boon to the busy educator. For example last year I facilitated a professional development course on Research in the Humanities. Through the miracle of modern technology I am able to use the same resources to show the databases to you!
