Other interesting sites and information included google earth and Comic Life (creating comic stories). I have now created my online bookmarks using delicious, and there is also a set of online bookmarks for things of interest related to Masterclass. Joe has written a blog - a diary - which has a short description of what techonologies were investigated.  On Thursday 23rd we worked in groups, and the group I worked with (some of the time!) created a set of instructions for teachers on how to set up and use podcasting. This was created using a wiki. The group has also created a blog for this, where you can leave comments. Another group worked on ideas for tasks and activities for use in the classroom, using blogs: http://sixsmarties.edublogs.org/. One of the other projects was also focussed on creating podcasts - and they have given a video of actually doing the recording. This is great fun to watch, and the instructions are good! For comments and discussion on some of the issues related to learning and pedagogy, look at the blog created by “Mags’ Group”. David Muir has a blog about using blogs.
