With so much of the Northeastern Australian floods dominating the news at present- this site would be great for you to share with students when you begin the school year- some fantastic images to generating discussions around such a hot topic,

I am experiencing the floods first hand - am trapped in Toowoomba at present and taking lots of pictures/video....scary stuff...

in T4L 3-12 we were discussing - Wiki/Blog ettiquette This link looks at 'How to act on a Wiki'

I strongly recommend this read to all LT's - if this hasn't yet been a discussion at your school - I am sure it will be some time in the future. Recommend all primary and secondary staff to read this !

This may be useful if you are looking for a good article to stimulate some discussion around the use of interactive whiteboards

good article

This site is the Homepage for NSW and is jam-packed with brilliant links for parents, teachers and kids too! The audiofiles and videos are excellent teacher professional development with titles like: Talking with Text, Numeracy at Home, Using the Empty Number LIne and speakers like Prof. Freebody discussing Literacy in our schools! Many of the links could be worth advertising in our schools' Newsletters/Bulletins as we head up to NLNW activities!
