I am a teacher interested in blogging and using tools to extend students learning and thinking. I learn best by reading what other teachers are doing on their blogs etc, rather than attending tedious courses.
I have been teaching for well over 30 years and hope to retire in 4 or 5 years.

I work with elementary school students in grades k - 5. I was wondering what teaching is like in New Zealand. I see you are interested in blogging. Are there any other tools that you find helpful?
With your interest in Web 2.0 Tools, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
