** Blogging as a Reflective Medium **
I have created a blog as a reflective diary - place to record what I've done and my thoughts.

I am still exploring the set up of this but the aim is to have a place where I can chart my journey through the ICTPD contract.

We all do a lot of incidental learning that perhaps does not get recorded or even seen as learning. Simple tasks such as how to log on to a school server, download digital images, create folders, etc. It is easy for us to forget what we __didn't know__ as we acquire knowledge and become more competent.

In respect the the Ministry contract I feel it important that we do chart our learning and a blog appears to be a simple way of' doing this. A short entry such as //"today I learned how to log onto the server by........."// would enable teachers to look back and see how far they have come as well as providing evidence of learning (evidence is important in respect to the contract).

I used [|blogspot.com] which was easy to set up and an easy environment in which to work (still exploring capabilities).

Check out my blog of the [|Learning@Schools Conference] and see what you think
