It has been a pleasure reading your entries and I will give global classroom a try with my classes ,but I'm not sure if it is for high school students as so much that is on it is primary. Great to meet you Sue Thanks for your comment John.

I am a pre-service teacher, doing a graduate entry course and I come from a very strong IT background professionally. I have been horrified by how our lecturers seem to view ICT/web based stuff as an 'add on' or a 'nice to have' when we are apparently learning how to teach kids who have grown up with this stuff and will use it for work and personal communication!! Anyway, enough complaining about my uni staff...I am glad I have another avenue through which I can persue my interest in ICT+education and I was going to leave some comments on your students' blogs, however since I dont know the school motto, it wont let me post...are you able to email it to me...thats if you trust that I am who I say I am...is it all too hard...? I really would like to have some interaction with your class through their blogs, I am also working on a webquest type idea that is a whole class activity - i havent really seen anything like it yet, but maybe I just havent looked far enough - and I would like some feedback on it and maybe a class who is willing to give it a try, once it is finished. Please let me know if you are interested, or if you know of other upper primary teachers who would be. Cheers, Tammy Hi John,
