If you still can’t find a suitable image then check out Lorelle on Wordpress. She has listed many sites where images can be found, some free, some with copyright restrictions. Make sure you read the information at the top of the page first about how to acknowledge the image’s owner.
Do you have a hobby or interest that you are very passionate about? Is there an author whose books you always read? Well why not make a comment here on this post telling Miss W about your interest and she might invite you to be a guest blogger here on the class blog. Only write a few lines saying why you would like to write about your interest. Remember when you do become the guest blogger, you can include some copyright free pictures about your interest. I don’t know yet how to insert a video or slideshow in a blog, so if anyone can help with that, it would be great.
I wonder what types of technology your parents, older brothers and sisters, neighbours or other relatives use in their work place? Do they blog, use wikis, mobile phones, podcasts etc? You might like to create a survey or questionaire and give your responses in a graph. Ask them questions on this topic, then either the student or the parent can write a comment back in this blog.

Welcome back students to a new year of learning in Miss Wyatt’s class. We will be using a lot of technology in our room including a smartboard which allows us to improve our learning, work collaboratively and of course play some games. Try this one now - ghostblasters. Using google earth is also fantastic on the smartboard. Can you come up with some other great interactive sites to use with our smartboard?
Hopefully many of you will get a page of your own to do some blogging on. But first, we will have this class blog on which you will be expected to comment and create posts. If you get really wrapped up in blogging, I will negotiate with your parents and you about creating your own blog page. I will be asking other staff and the principal to also read and comment on your blogs so make sure they are relevant and well written.
The other form of Web 2.0 technology we will be using are wikis. You are sure to have used Wikipedia before, well we are going to create our own wiki during history lessons. We will also be inviting members of the local community to add information to our wiki - a great way to collaborate.
