Every day is different, inspiring, hard work but so rewarding when you see or are told about a Preservice teacher or academic that has integrated a Web 2.0 tool in the classroom that you have told them about and they were so excited. I also get to play in all the new technologies (and get paid!)
One of my roles is to teach Preservice Teachers and Academics how to integrate ICT into the curriculum. Other roles include creating exemplar packages for teachers. The 2 exemplars that I am working on involve Quest Atlantis, a curriculum based virtual world in a junior secondary science unit and VoiceThreads in a primary maths and HSIE unit.
My interests lie in using technology for Professional development, Virtual Worlds, Web 2.0 tools and mobile technology in the classroom.
I take a great deal of joy and pleasure and pride from being able to work with my two daughters. One is a beginning teacher and the other still completing her teaching degree. I believe that they have a great future in the classroom and that their students will indeed be very lucky to have them. They have a great ability to look at ICT and be able to think outside the square to utilise it to engage their students.
I hope to bring to the EpCoPMOOC a love and a passion for using ICT in education and hope to inspire others to experiment outside their comfort zone, after all nothing will blow up by having a go!

iPod Touch
Looking for an iPod touch (with camera) to do some research with. Anyone got a spare or want to sell or give away to a good cause. Will be used in a local primary school to assist teaching Maths skills/concepts. Need to compare to similar android devices as to which is better suited.
Check out Jenny Ashby's webpage for uses of the iPod in the classroom.

Week 11 Webinar "Integrating ICT into the Curriculum"
Date: 9th June 2011
Session Time: 8-9pm
Topic: 3 Great tools:
1. WIX
2. Stixy
3. LiveBinders
Link: http://bit.ly/fxxChR
e-Champions Kathryn Matthews and Christine Dix will showcase three great Web 2.0 tools this week.
WIX is a flash website, Stixy is just like a great big sticky pin board that you can pin notes, photos, calendars etc to. A great tool that can be used for your own individual reminders as well as a collaborative tool & LiveBinders are a fantastic way of keeping information together. Just imagine an electronic spiral notepad with tabs and you have a LiveBinder.
