Finding Time To Blog

It’s been a few days since I last blogged and I’ve been wanting to get a few ideas that have been buzzing around in my head onto Teaching Generation Z. One issue that keeps coming back to my brain is how hard it is to sell the concept of blogging to fellow staff members. The [...]

Gathering Evidence

I’m on my quest to properly portray the potential of interactive whiteboards in classrooms and I have the first link of hopefully many for others to peruse and feedback on. It’s titled IWBs vs DATA PROJECTORS and comes from the IWBNet website here down under. Now even their points would be up for debate – [...]

Why An Interactive Whiteboard?

My thinking has been challenged. More and more I am realising that I need to have my thoughts in order as the official spokesperson for my school’s foray in the world of IWB’s. In the last two posts I have reported on a point of view that I had not previously considered. There’s nothing a [...]

ActivBoarding Post

Just posted to the team blog at ActivBoarding. Thought it needed to be here as it is really from my own unique standpoint!
