Room+4

** Why? ** - its learning intention eg) addition, sequencing, retelling. =__**Milestone 4**__= The main classroom blog is still being used. Now it is more of a 'jump off' point for students where all the links to things that they might need to do or places they might need to go. Homework and spelling lists are also included so there is no pieces of paper to "lose". Next step is to get kids to post their homework rather than writing it in a book. Also next step for the blog as part of posting is to make it more interactive as a place to share others information rather than just our classes. We might even go into wiki's. [|Room four's Blog!!]

 * What ** the students were actually doing it for (its purpose).
 * How ** it enhanced the learning.


 * Below is a video of a student in my class who answers the questions above. Writing motivation, especially for boys, has increased dramatically with the introduction of a writing blog.**

 * Knowing that when students are not one to one with the teacher they are still learning or able to get help on from the mathletics tutorials is comforting as a teacher. Time to share others ideas and looking at what other cluster schools are doing has motivated me to change and improve my ICT use in the classroom.**
 * Our [|writing blog] has all the students labels and they can look back over their writing and see the change. A section of their writing must be written each week and if they have our class mascot Hinni they are able to write an extra blog for the week.**
