''Welcome to my sandbox! the content might seem a bit random while I play with WE... sorry!''

I work with a curious bunch of Year 5 and 6 children who are learning to make the most of Web 2. Our school year is just about to begin and I spent last week getting our wiki and blog ready. They are very empty and just waiting for the kids to get going. As a teacher, I have realised the importance of using these tools with the children. They are motivated by the tools and I am able to integrate them into what has always been sound pedagogy.

Our class wikispace gives us...

 * online sharing our writing
 * a Real audience to write for
 * a chance to give feedback to each other
 * the opportunity to respond to feedback and edit accordingly

Our class blog gives us...

 * 1)  individual and group reflection about our learning
 * 2)  different perspectives from people around the world
 * 3)  a daily/weekly record of our learning experiences
