This blog is one way I intertwine ICT and the teaching process, as a reflective tool for myself as well as a way to get some feedback on my reflection.

Another way I am using blogs in the classroom is here, in a more hands-on way with the kids:

Miss Rosen’s Classroom.

I like the idea of the ICT word wall for teachers! Could go in the staffroom, perhaps…

Thanks for the great questions!

It’s a simple yet insightful way of demonstrating how teaching can include ICT tools without taking over the process (in fact enhancing it as I see it!) – something I often feel teachers struggle with if they have yet to delve into ed technologies (or even more, have had negative experiences with ICTs in teaching or learning).

To me, this really sounds like an emergent design process as well – what are your thoughts on that? (I know you previously sent me a paper about emergent design).

I’d love for our curriculum team to see this as an emerging curriculum design process too!
I would certainly like to point our teachers to your post here too. Especially when you say:
“But a lot of my planning needs to be done after I meet these students. ”

Yeah! True learner-centredness! And should we perhaps be developing ‘word walls’ for newbie e-learning teachers too?!
