This blog accompanies an eTeacher event ‘create, connect – blog’ which aims to help South Australian classes to share their learning online
– locally and globally.

This blog welcomes access to all learners, classes and educators including and beyond those within the DECS (SA government) system. DECS schools and preschools are encouraged to freely register via this link then click ‘Create, Connect – Blog’.
There is also a guest login.

Follow three simple stages to exploring and developing online communication
➡ Click the pages (above) for each of the following

CREATE: A class blog  is created (an online shared website)
 – student and teacher collaboration leads to how it will be used.

CONNECT: Classes interact through each others’ blogs for combined friendship and learning.

BLOG:  Starter and extension activities are suggested to begin this ongoing journey.

About the event – It really is early days with many ideas planned for the future. I believe in the concept of connecting classes using web 2.0 software. It is my intent to continue to develop this site whilst retaining it’s simplicity

About Al – I’m a teacher at Glenelg School (Adelaide, South Australia) with a passion for professional learning, computer games in education and exploring the role of emerging technologies in education. My focus is catering to busy teachers with time commitments, crowded curricula and often elusive lives of their own. My miniLegends class are Year 3 students – 8 and 9 year olds.
I am also an eTeacher with the Technology School of the Future.
I have three blogs
