Week 2

This week I have looked at and joined some sites as recommended by Richard in the EDS4406 discussion page. QSITE was the first recommended page which is about the following, taken from their website:

The Queensland Society for Information Technology in Education (QSITE) connects and supports educators, institutions and their stakeholders so they may fully explore the opportunities Information Communication Technologies bring to Queensland education and its classrooms every day.

Through state-wide learning communities and professional networks, QSITE members:

• Engage……….. students and educators in life-long learning
• Share………….. ICT challenges, achievements and experiences
• Connect………. with colleagues for collaboration and learning
• Lead……………. ICT education and ICT integration in Queensland

I joined 3 discussion lists from QSITE that were recommended by Richard.

I have also joined 2 yahoo groups ICT educators in schools and IT ideas for educators. I am yet to receive confirmation of acceptance into both groups but will explore them further once Ive been accepted.

Another online network that I am enrolled in is TES, I have found the TES pages to be a great tool for resources and teacher sharing and collaboration.
