Use MEMIARY as a reflection tool for the day, week or month … Great for gathering student ideas about a new Unit of Inquiry and then using it as a reflection tool at the end of a Unit of Inquiry.
EDMODO
In the Junior School this year we have been using a WEB 2.0 tool called EDMODO.
It is a micro-blogging tool that allows the students to post a comment, upload a file, follow a link all in a secure chatroom environment.
Students in Year 6 have been using it for their Unit of Inquiry – Where we are in place and time – to discuss their inquiry into Refugees.
We also have a Junior Japanese page, Hoshi Club, Junior Library Monitor page and Junior Library Chatroom (Year 3 -6 SALC students only) . Each group page has a code. Please see the relevant teacher if you wish to join the group.
