foolfillment: the blog

I’m listening to a skypecast (my first) that Ewan McIntosh took part in about web2.0 in the classroom. Over the next few weeks we have a series of lectures and presentations about final year projects.

I wonder, yet again, about how much scope there is for me to do one that would investigate different uses of the internet in the classroom, for instance blogging, but also podcasting or conference calls through skype. I know how much discussion helps my own learning (beit in aiding my understanding or engaging me more in the topic through encountering those who already are engaged) and I want to investigate the affect these new technologies have in the classroom.

With the new Scottish Schools Digital Network due to go live in 2007 - my graduation year - I feel it is really important that as a new teacher I am able to bring the skills and knowledge to whatever school I end up in, and my fourth year investigation could help me with this.
