  5. Scripted versus Live

    In the forums at the Time 4 Online NZ Conference ( http://time4online.org.nz ) Sarah asked me a question about my podcasting presentation.

    In my position as an ICT Facilitator and even more so now that I am spending a year researching podcasts in the classroom, I get to listen to a good many different classroom podcasts.

  10. Early Childhood Educators leading the way!

    Today I had the privilege of working with a group of early childhood educators on the topic of podcasting.

  12. Technology use in home versus school

  18. The marvel of these new technologies.

    Today in Dunedin we had a snow day.
