The Bashful Blogger: iPad and Special Needs
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2010/08/ipad-and-special-needs.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. IPad and Special Needs. The timing of my Californian trip was perfect. As soon as I returned I persuaded my husband and started saving for Harry's own iPod Touch in time for his 10th birthday in July. An iPad would have been even better but was out of our price range unfortunately! So it was huge interest that I read this post. While iPads are obviously not the answer to all the difficulties that come with autism I can see a real potential for their use at home and school. ...

The Bashful Blogger: IMPD Introduction Day
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2011/10/impd-introduction-day.html
Saturday, October 29, 2011. At my school we were recently given the opportunity to enrol in an NZQA Visual Arts course delivered by Lifeway College. When I sent the email around school asking for expressions of interest I expected maybe one or two replies. 24 staff ended up enrolling including our class teachers, our principal, both deputy principals, two teacher aides and our network manager! Lifeway College, 95 Mt Eden Road, Mt Eden. 8:30am - 4:00pm Saturday 29 October 2011. Hotography with Stuart Hale.

The Bashful Blogger: ICT Lead Teacher Workshop
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2011/05/ict-lead-teacher-workshop.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. ICT Lead Teacher Workshop. Well this is embarrassing! How did I get out of the habit of regular blogging? It's not as if there's been nothing to share - quite the opposite in fact. Finally today I have run out of excuses! Bridget has also been on fire this year leading ICT - not an inconsiderable role conisdering every single class now has their own blog! I felt the same B :-) Was such a great day! May 19, 2011 at 2:19 PM. That sounds absolutely brilliant! June 1, 2011 at 10:14 AM.

The Bashful Blogger: ULearn 11 @ Rotorua
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2011/10/ulearn-11-rotorua.html
Tuesday, October 18, 2011. ULearn 11 @ Rotorua. Finally I'm here at ULearn again for the first time since 2009. I enthusiastically enrolled the four of us from EPS in the pre-conference workshops held today although the closer it got the more stressed I have become! What seemed like a good idea in Term 2 suddenly seemed a little less attractive when I looked at my long to-do list that isn't getting any shorter these holidays! First up - a full day workshop on questioning with Trevor Bond. Could it be .

The Bashful Blogger: ICT Lead Teacher Workshop
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2011/08/ict-lead-teacher-workshop.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. ICT Lead Teacher Workshop. It's that time again - the Eastnet ICT-PD Cluster lead teachers met today for a workshop at Shelly Park School. There are only six of us in the group now which is about half of our size during the cluster contract but what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality of content! Over lunch we talked about how valuable we find these days even though they are only once a term and we have already planned the content for our final 2011 workshop which wi...

The Bashful Blogger: The Progressions Dilemma
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-progressions-dilemma.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. For years I have resisted the urge to develop e-Learning progressions at my school. By this I mean a document that lists the various ICT skills students need at each year level. Why am I so resistant? Will they be divided into year levels or curriculum levels or something entirely different? We have tried to gather examples of how other schools are grappling with this but if anyone would like to contribute their two cents worth we would be grateful! Some good thoughts and conve...

The Bashful Blogger: Update on the Progressions Dilemma
http://belindajjohnston.blogspot.com/2014/07/update-on-progressions-dilemma.html
Friday, July 25, 2014. Update on the Progressions Dilemma. Well it's done and dusted. We now officially have ICT Progressions at my school although we have changed the name to Digital Technologies Guidelines. Some teachers will be trialling them this term as they are still at the draft stage. It will interesting to see whether my fears come to fruition or not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
