Busy Browser

Struggling to open my blog.  Lecture on creating a wiki  was just amazing. Just imagine having  ALL this technology  in order to collaborate with ones' learners. School  will surely no longer be " boring" for some of them . 
Browsed through khsavid.wetpaint.com. Very useful to use when we get to create our wiki.

Dear Fellow Bloggers
I’ve browsed through some of the top 20 websites:

I found the following blogs directly or as links: Interesting, inspiring , useful or awesome (teentalk)


1.An inspirational story about a boy called Han. You can read it to your learners for Reading period, English or Life Orientation. One of the themes is the value of education.
You can hyperlink to it at the website

2. Dr Sue ‘s blog has different categories: Education , Entertainment , Humor, Positive attitude,Resolving Conflict and time management .
A very useful , interesting feature at the end of each post is a witty message/advice. For eg. Resolving Conflict: Do a CPA: How did I Create, Promote, or Allow this situation to occur. Even if we think the other person is 99% in the wrong, there is still that annoying 1%

3. Donalyn Miller is the book whisperer - she can turn even the most reluctant (or, in her words, "dormant") readers into students who can't put their books down. Great ideas to use with reluctant readers and the blog also links to bookreviews .

4. Do you know what is a TBR-List ? View the answer at

5. This blog is about bookclubs and bookclub bookreviews.http://www.topsandtales./
 6.Some learners creating problems ? Then read Manage this and learn about “Go brain dead ”.
   Very helpful. Hyperlink to the blog  at : http://hipteacher.typepad.com/schoolblog/2009/10/manage-this.html

Thank you.

Netiquette

19 August


LISTSERV: I followed the instructions , waited and received a message that I successfully registered on the listserv.

Learned about netiquette: etiquette on the net. No more Capslock which means no more shouting on the net.

Will have to lurk! But my responses won't be flaming !

Making up...

Dear fellow ICT-bloggers
I’ve been an unproductive blogger . So today I’m making up for all the lost days. Sometimes it’s just crazy –all the things one has to do in a day …Not a very good excuse though…

Went to see Letecia in library. She was very helpful. I got two books and URL’s for two websites on Internet Filtering. It is clear that teachers only have good intentions with filters – to protect children from adult material.  I enjoyed LibrarianinBlack and I go back .
Explored feedbooks : there were a few new e-books available to download.
               eBookLobby : I read a few pages of :Ten thousand Dreams interpreted .Fascinating stuff.

My essay is due next week. Sandys' powerpoint presentation is very impressive and I look forward to starting this essay.

I just could'nt manage to complete my essay on Internet Filtering. I had to explain to Sandy and ask her if I could hand it in next week.
