Back to School

A new school year is just around the corner, filled with possibilities.

One of the new tools I'm trying this year is OneNote. I've never used it before, but the 2010 version seems to be pretty much everything I need to turn my planning and record keeping paperless . As an added bonus, the iOS apps make it easy to view my work on the go (along with basic editing).

I'm knee deep (almost literally, I have piles of resources at my feet) in planning at the moment - a brand new year level (year eight) will no doubt bring new challenges, and is refreshing. I've taught year seven for the last 5 years (plus this year as well) so it will be good to have a change.

I'm also getting organised to begin my new role as Digital Learning Coordinator - I have big plans, including the foundation of a student 'e-team', parent Ultranet roll-out across the College, and becoming an accredited e-smart school. 

It's going to be a great year!
