Hi all. I am a grade 3 teacher and the ICT Representative at St Joseph's The Strand. I love playing with a range of web 2.0 tools and am hoping to share this love with you!

The first I would love to share with you is Facebook. I have been a Facebook user for about 2 years now and have found it a great way to keep in contact with old school friends (many who I have forgotten even existed!), old workmates and a variety of people who I have somehow crossed in life. Facebook is a place where you can add photos as well as a range of applications. It is free to join. If you haven't already joined, you can sign up at [|www.facebook.com]

You may also have heard a lot in the media lately about Twitter - especially over the weekend when Ashton Kutcher was the first to reach a million followers! Twitter is a social network that asks users "What are you doing?" It is also free to join by visiting []

Another tool that is free and a great way to keep in contact is Skype. Skype allows you to call people over the internet and also allows you to chat online. You can download it for free from [|www.skype.com]

I also enjoy publishing photos and making mini-movies. By signing up to [|www.tabblo.com] you can turn your photos into comic strips or photo cubes or publish them on a variety of other sites. Other useful sites for photo and video sharing are [|www.onetruemedia.com] and [|www.bubbleshare.com] Also you can make mini-movies with Windows MovieMaker - a program found on all school computers. I have used this with senior primary students before with ease with most students finding it easier to use and manouvre than PowerPoint.
