I have been experimenting with new technologies at University, including blogs (http://educatingerin.edublogs.org), websites (http://ekbu42.googlepages.com/ and http://erinburton.teachfolio.net) and interactive whiteboards. These and other technologies such as laptops, digital video cameras and projectors will be useful in assisting me to bring the real world into my classroom, creating engaging learning activities and authentic assessment tasks.

During my rounds at Catholic College Bendigo, I had my first experience with using an electronic whiteboard. The curiosity and belief in the potential of this device sparked my interest, and I have further explored their potential during this year through internet blog discussions and professional development sessions. I look forward to using this and other technologies further in my professional practice, and to providing students with even better learning opportunities and outcomes.
