Together with a colleague, we have built and maintain our school facebook page which engages so effectively with our community. We now have 225 members and great feedback from the page. We spend many after school hours making sure it is updated 3 times a week and having appropriate content (photos) to share.  I enjoy IT and are more than happy to share what I know with others. I look forward to to more development with our digital learning team. I was able to help another colleague this past term in setting up her class blog.

Resources: Making and sharing resources is something I really enjoy doing as I can combine my IT skills, my photography photoshop skills and teaching knowledge.  When I find a resource I may like, I can easily adapt these to suit my children and topic.  For example these Te Reo growth signs I made from pictures from google images.
