Ulearn Conference Lois Fraser

What an awesome 3 days I had at the Ulearn Conference in Christchurch last week. Having just returned to the classroom after a break of 5 years the technological advances have been somewhat overwhelming to me. Plus a great challenge. So the conference fair blew me away with the classroom uses and communication globally. I did perhaps feel that computers in the junior room were an extra but now realise that they are an integral part of the whole learning experience and I am really excited about implementing ICT into everyday practice. My first challenge will be to get my classroom blog up and running and look forward to sharing our successes with the wider community. The children have already, with the help of a mother help, published their written expression. Next week we will do this again but use a paint programme to illustrate their work.
