Virtual+Syndicate+Literacy

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all attending the virtual syndicate yesterday, hopefully you'll all be able to make the next one (Term 3) on Numeracy. Watch the e-newsletter for details. Special thanks to Ryan and Keith for sharing their action research, thoughts and lessons from changing their practice.

Below are some links to the things that were mentioned or covered yesterday. If you think of something I have missed let me know and I'll send that information out too.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Ryan's Outram Sport Blog As Ryan said he has lost his audio postings.

Podbean this is what Dave and I were talking about to get code for embedding audio in a blog, you can also use podOmatic

Survey Monkey Keith used this for data collection.

Comic Life page on the Otepoti Wiki If you click on the comic life icon at the top of the page you will be redirected to the download site. It is for both PC and Mac and you can organise registration for a one off payment of $4 per computer you have the programme on at your school. Dave has sent information to Principals for this. Problems with Schoolzone- contact Dave for advice. There are lots of examples of different ways to use Comic Life- they are not all wonderful, just ideas.

If you want to follow up on anything from the Vitual Syndicate meeting just let us know. We really appreicate you putting in your own time to find out about new ideas, things people are doing and if we can support you to put something into practice because of this meeting that would be fantastic.

Any feedback you have about the meeting or any ideas, actions that come from it please let us know about it. We want to know if these meetings make a difference to people and how we can continue to do this better.

Thanks again, hope you enjoyed the meeting. Disa and Dave.
