Term 2 Goals

April 10, 2016 / emily.fintelman / Leave a comment

Term 1 was massive for me. Being at a new school and a completely new year level has had me completely floored. I feel like I have spent the entire term in a whirlwind of not really knowing or understanding what's going in, which has been completely different to my previous experience of understanding most things … Continue reading Term 2 Goals

Class Blogs for Reflection

November 17, 2015 / emily.fintelman / Leave a comment

Lots of us start off a class blog with great intentions! We start strong, with heaps of posts and lots of time allocated to reading and writing comments, but it somehow trails off, snowed under by all the other new and exciting things that inevitably appear throughout the year.  Sound familiar to anyone? I've had … Continue reading Class Blogs for Reflection

For anyone trying (like me) to get their head around the DigiTech curriculum, hopefully this can help get you. I plan on sharing some of the things I do in my school that address this proposed curriculum at a grade 2 level.   My school's Digital Learning Team has identified the area of "Promote and … Continue reading Growing Good Digital Citizens

Integrating the Class Blog into Literacy

Something I have been working on this term is making stronger and more efficient links between reading and writing, and authentically including the class blog into those sessions so we don't need a whole session allocated to blogging each week. Here is an example of what I have done this week. My students are learning about … Continue reading Integrating the Class Blog into Literacy

Reflections on Digicon

Wow! #Digicon15! My head exploded. What a brilliant event with SO much going on in so many areas! I need to reflect but my head is a jungle so I'm just going to get down anything and everything I am thinking here and see where it takes me. These are my main takeaways and the … Continue reading Reflections on Digicon

To Tweet or Not to Tweet: Using Twitter to build my PLN

September 9, 2014 / emily.fintelman / 32 Comments

I'm not sure I'm a Twitter convert yet. Oh sure, I've heard it from a zillion reputable education sources that Twitter is the best thing that you can do to transform your teaching and learning, but I'm not there yet. I started a Twitter account at a Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century PD. … Continue reading To Tweet or Not to Tweet: Using Twitter to build my PLN

Classroom Blogging and the Slump

June 23, 2014 / emily.fintelman / 7 Comments

This is the second year I have been blogging with my class. I started it because I wanted the grade to have a way to share what we had been doing with parents (and the wider community, if possible) and  a way for students to reflect on their learning and achievements. Have a look at … Continue reading Classroom Blogging and the Slump
