Collaborate, Create, Construct: ** ** Trevor Storr ** Make and share on online course. Use Educo the shared online environment of Aorakinet, Cantatech and Westnet to prepare an online course for your learners. Attendees will gain most benefit if they have digital teaching materials readily available for a unit of work.

In this session Andrew will show how to make screecasts, vodcasts (video-podcasts) and enhanced podcasts using a range of simple tools. Each of these tools provide two great advantages: (1) they let teachers teach in new ways and/or at times that would be otherwise impractical and (2) they increase the human element of teaching by automating repetitive (but necessary) instruction thereby affording a teacher more class time for those activities that cannot be automated but require human interaction.
 * Podcasting with Visuals: Andrew Douch**

This workshop will explore easy-to-use online tools (web 2.0 tools) that Andrew has found to be simple, engaging and powerful yet inexpensive. Tomorrow, you could have your students use an ordinary telephone to record a podcast, participate in an online group conversation using VoiceThread, ask questions on a classroom backchannel, or collaborate on a document in real-time, and more! No matter what subject, or at what year level you teach, you are sure to discover a neat and engaging tool that you can take into your classroom the next lesson and start using.  **E-portfolios: Pete Potter** Create an online space where students can showcase their work. An introduction to the myportfolio software that allows users to create ‘views’ where students can store their work and social network in a safe arena that is supported by the Ministry. The software is easy to use and allows teachers and students to access their e-portfolios anytime and anywhere.
