I’m having an absolutely wonderful time here at ULearn09. I’ve just come from a session led by Simon Shaw of St. Albans Meadows Primary School in Australia, who has been talking about how to develop deep thinkers through podcasting. He used two really interesting examples of students work and demonstrated how the use of technologies are embedded into the teachers practice to support metacognitive learning in a way which would be far harder without the use of such technologies.

There are some synergies here with my presentations this year, which are to do with collaborative spaces and the nature of dialogue and being purposeful in the use of technological interventions. Please take THIS LINK to view a summary of what I covered and come back here to share any observations or examples of how you have embedded technologies into your teaching and learning contexts.
