Leading your Engish faculty into the 21st Century

Anne Mirtschin Hawkesdale P12 College

Anne runs a completely e class relying on global resources and tools.  Her argument is that we now live in the conceptual age, where students want to connect, communicate and create.  Teachers must be supported by school the community, know the emerging technological tools, establish their own personal learning network, be given time to play with the tools and have access to PD.

 Students have their own blog and podcast sites.  She no longer worries about outsiders contacting (it hasn’t happened) and she has a RSS feed from each student so she has co-administrator rights.

 She recommends among other tools:  delicious, globalteacher (a Vic Educational department site), skype, wikis, blogs, podcasts etc.

 A full list of her sites is available but try:
