Starnott

Suz Arnott I am a secondary teacher at a large Melbourne Government school. My role is to provide staff support in the use of ICT. I have developed a project based on the 23 things project which allows staff to take small steps to learn about some relevant Web 2.0 tools.

The Redback wiki This is the starting point for my conference presentation. I have an overview of the project, a bit about me, and how I have used technologies in the classroom and a discussion area where you can add questions and thoughts about the project. I would love to have some feedback, and hope that this can make teachers more aware of the potential for creating really innovative classrooms in the now, rather than too far into the future.

[|The Redback Project] This is the blog which takes you through the project itself, with a tasks pages, and many resources to support teachers learning about Web 2.0.

[|The current Redback Project] Staff from my current school have jumped on board the Redback Project and although the challenges are big, they are learning lots and having fun too :)

 * Presenter Registration #16**


 * Name** - Suz Arnott


 * Name of Presentation** - The Redback Project


 * Presentation Description** - The way I teach, and the innovations I have brought to my classes through the use of ICT have made me wonder why other staff weren't trying it. I'm not an IT guru and I could do it... Many were nervous about trying new things... and not even heard of things like wikis, blogs, social networking and "OMG you can't have a mobile phone in class". I decided to develop a way to entice other staff members to jump into the 21st Century, and so far so good. Come along and I will show you how, and I will have links for others to join in as well.
