 DECEMBER 8, 2008 Grade 2-5 teachers,

Here is a site posted to me by Philip. [|www.tikatok.com] where the students can create their digital stories and publish them. Spread the word and make sure the teachers in your departments have a go with it. Birgul Bayraktar Hi everyone,

As Philip has already posted on TVO wiki, here is a great opportunity to take online courses provided by EVO. Please read the following: Dear all,

Hello Techies,

As the time goes by, I would like to bring your attention to some of the websites that I came across during my e-assessment course on EVO-Tesol nearly two years back now. French and German teachers may find them easy to use as they require only basic knowledge of English. Here we go: [|www.letterpop.com] To create class magazines. [|www.quizlet.com] To create quizzes www.easytestmaker.com [|www.surveymonkey.com] To create surveys. First take a look at the sample.

From Birgul with Love 20.11.2008

TVO Technology Group

TVO Tech proudly presents the first group and the very first task: We are going to be researching the intersection of Bloom's Taxonomy and technology in the 21st century. We will do this by giving examples from our own experiences and from our thorough research of other teachers' experiences from around the world. We will also be looking into academic research on this topic.
