= Welcome to the TimNet ICT Cluster Wiki =

We are a group of three Timaru Schools which form the TimNet ICT Cluster. The aim of the cluster is to improve the use of ICT in our teaching and learning during 2009, 2010 and 2011. The aim of this wiki is to provide an online space to showcase our achievements and share our experiences.   A must see for everyone in education.....media type="youtube" key="zDZFcDGpL4U?fs=1" height="385" width="640" = Check out the #Ulearn 2010 page for updates from the teachers that went.... = = = media type="custom" key="7177191" width="160" height="160" align="right" media type="custom" key="6713685"Ian Fox passes comment on his experience of ICT in Education.  media type="custom" key="6713623" width="150" height="150"



The American Association of School Librarians has created a list of the 25 best websites for teaching and learning, how useful! Click here

Ever wanted an extra large YouTube for your whiteboard?? Click here......

Provided again in 2010 for all NZ schools will be myportfolio.school.nz. This excellent website engages students through allowing them to use an e Portfolio to present work and carry through with them on their learning journey. These have been used at TGHS this year with great success and lots of schools seem to be piloting them this year.

EDUCO is available to all of us in the cluster and can be used to as your Learning Management System. It's a great resource to provide some of you course materials on line and also build some tutorials that students can access anyhwere, anytime!



Software for Learning is an excellent resource for teachers provided on the TKI site. You can browse software that is specific to your learning area......

21 Things came about due to a need to find a creative way to educate teachers on the core technology skills they needed. The need also included a desire to find a way to deliver professional development just-in-time and at anytime teachers needed it. Along with that there was a need to have everything aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers.

This site is called Cool Web 2.0 Tools for Schools. This should be your first point of call when you are looking for any web based applications. This is one of the best collections I've seen!!!!!

Three of Timaru's own Primary Principals supply gadgets made from Wii remotes to make your whiteboard interactive. They are also presenting at TimLearn.
