Room 20's Inquiry Topics

Room 20, you've given yourselves some really challenging areas to investigate: bioluminescent blooms, aurora (Northern Lights) ad Brinicls.  The Padlet you have created gives your whole class plenty of material to get started with. 

Please comment at the bottom of this post:
  1. Which part of the Padlet-making task was best and which part was challenging?
  2. Which person in the class had the most interesting notes and websites and why did you find them interesting?
You will be using these tools in your inquiry topics.

Room 16's Inquiry - Space

Room 16, your task was to find the best web pages you could about space. You were asked to post them onto the Padlet Wall and to write a note for each web page you found. Your note had to tell us something interesting you discovered on that web page. You had to create a note that had your Main Point.

Icy Tea makes my brain freeze

This is where the kids in my ICT classes get to practice transforming ICT skills into real learning back in their 'real' classes.

I'm not that interested in technology because it's there - I am only interested in using the fantastic web tools to transform our learning.

An ICT class is really a misfit and doesn't suit how kids think about technology. This is a journal to record the shift in our school from a stand-alone ICT class to a fully integrated e-Learning pedagogy.

Enjoy the ride. Let's see where I'll get to.
