2015 - First Post!

I've realised that it is a year since I posted on this blog. Perhaps it's because I use Twitter as my go to tool for professional learning. (@rosscoh) However I believe a blog is still a useful tool for communicating and in this case, keeping references to professional learning links for posterity.


The things I've been thinking about are here: Not in blog form but as a Google Site shared with the staff in 2014 - https://sites.google.com/a/cloud.wellesley.school.nz/state-of-play/

I'm about to produce a 2015 edition of this.

In the meantime, here are some cool links which might help your digital learning programme:
