Module 2

I am looking forward to discussing in depth the use of NAPLAN SMART strategies with other teachers in a variety of KLA's and believe this would be a useful tool to do this with.
This blog would have widespread applications for discussions with other Learning Support teachers throughout NSW. It would be a good tool to explore their experiences and to see if other schools have had the same difficulties with the SMART data program.
It could be used to share resources and strategies. Learning Support in an independant school has the potential to become isolated- this is a great way of opening up the faculty to professional development in an area which is constantly evolving, especially in the area of adaptive technology. New applications ( especially those that are free and can be downloaded) can be shared.

I am looking forward to feeling more confident with using this technology. I can see its potential in a learning environment and in particular communicating with other educators. As a learning support teacher it would be great to be able to share information and reflections with other LST in other schools together with teachers within our own College.
Next week I am attending a literacy programming planning meeting with literacy coordinators from CEO schools and other congregational schools this would be an excellent opportunity to set up a blogging network to enable easy communication with this group of educators. I can also use this tool to report back to the College and to share resources freely
