This site will also be used for sharing a summary of your professional discussions with the buddy teacher you are going to meet at the conference.
 * 3) A cluster-wide ICT Professional Reading - please read with your buddy and discuss an example of **how you are using multimedia in your class** and a **possible idea to try** from the bullet points. Please fill in a 'Discussion Tab' on this page on a bullet point from the reading you can relate too.

**Tuesday 2 August**
 * 1) Our vision for ICT this term is to have increased communication and collaboration across the cluster. Having a buddy teacher/class will enable you to have an authentic audience to share what you are doing in class. Because we are wanting to communicate and collaborate in a digital way, we need to think of some **Web 2.0 tools** that, along with our **class wikis**, will allow us to see, read and hear what other people think about our learning:


 * Web 2.0 Tool || How could we use this tool to communicate and collaborate? ||

 * Whole-class brainstorm about prior knowledge (change colours to add new facts later on)
 * Essential Questions and Subsidiary Questions ||
