My class blog now has: Photos Links to useful sites A Stats counter Web albums And now, a video link to YouTube. All in a week. How cool is that!!!!!! Next, I shall conquer the world!"

Trevors presentation was based on a workshop by Jacqui Sharp, called "A Whole New Way of Teaching and Learning". It is available to view on Slideshare [] You can download this powerpoint onto your own computer if you join slideshare, then all the embedded links in the powerpoint will work. I especially recommend Jaquis use of the 5 levels of ICT integration in the classroom. Also check out her teaching ideas and classroom setup. She also has other presentations on slideshare, I thoroughly recommend them.

**Reflections from the day**
Change happens in schools in classrooms - when it does everything changes. Do you have a clear vision of the strategy for elearning in your school. improve technologies, embed in we do in the classroom, must link to our values and beliefs, needs to be forward looking, transferable learning. student ownership, classroom focussed, open ended, connected back the curriculum, how it is going to benefit our students learners, students become connected and collaborative learners,

Ideas for future sessions
delicious animation collaborative activities Job descriptions having difficult conversations

For the number crunchers out there
I gave a few number during my presentation on Monday. For the person who asked (thank you) they were (remember these are approximate): 1.8 billion internet users. 50 million 'good' emails a day (after you have removed 80% SPAM) 250 million websites (sites not pages) Facebook - a billion views a month Youtube - 24 hours of video uploaded every minute of every day Blogs / wikis approx 120 million of them Here are the numbers what are the questions???? If you want more numbers just squeeze.

Literacies
We did a bit of a brainstorm around the literacies that a digital lesrner will need. Heere are a few.

Try this one in Texas?? Creation vs. Evolution has been settled! A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race come about?" The Mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve; they had children and, so all mankind was made." A few days later, the little girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys, and we developed from them." The confused girl returns to her mother and says, "Mum, how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God, and Dad says we developed from monkeys?" The Mother answers, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, and your father told you about his side."

And then some days nature just blows you away
