Vanessa Hanns Year 1 Teacher Ss Peter & Paul, Kiama

Hi, I'm currently in my third year teaching Year 1 at Kiama, and have a challenging class of 20 (mostly boys). I have limited access to technology in my classroom at the moment & similarly limited skills. I want to improve these skills to be able to design more interesting learning experiences for my class.



Module 2: Global Connections We looked at an overview of various sites that could be useful for our classroom learning. I spent time signing up for epals and looking for suitable buddies for my year 1 class. I had a go at putting photos & music together in animoto which was really easy and will very useful for all sorts of things. I checked out an amazing Year 1 blog page on Voices of the World from Australia and was inspired to find out more about creating one for my class. It showed me how all the elements from [|epals], [|animoto], VOKI & Voices of the World come together to create interesting learning experiences and forums for all ages.
