About Me
Hi there, I'm Melanie, a teacher in NSW, Australia. I'm currently working doing Professional Development on ICLTs for teachers around Australia and really love seeing educators getting excited about using them. I've been a reader of Steve's blog for a while now and have my own Ning networks for large PD projects in schools, giving them a space to flesh out ideas and share stories. I've also helped several teachers set up Ning networks for their classes to encourage communication and collaboration. It's all a work in progress, but it's great to see the changes happening.

I'm a firm believer in teaching skills for the future for our students of today. A child in Year 2 now is going to need to have literacy in areas we're only just naming.

    Hi Melanie, If you give me a few weeks to get through reports, conferences, year 12 exams and other exams I am quite happy to work on elluminate or a virtual classroom with you and show you, or if it is easier to skype use that method. Once people are confident using the tools, the ideas for adaptation in the classrooms become evident.
