Kia ora,

Room 5, Park Estate School is a Literacy Room.

I will be working with literacy groups and English Language Learners.  Term 2, 2014 is my first term in this teaching position.

I am interested in how e-learning can help increase our students' literacy skills, and how we can use the iPads to support the learning of ELLs.

I will use this blog as a learning diary for me and the students, and reflect and share things we do and what we learn.

Currently my teacher registration status is 'STC' - Subject to confirmation.  I am going to label posts in this blog to align with the NZ Registered Teacher Criteria.

I have set up this blog with the help of  Jacqui Sharp's websites.

Another NZ site that has much info and discussion re e-learning and literacy is the  Virtual Learning Network.

Cheers,

Gretchen
