911 Writer's Block

This is a fun site for an English class. The concept itself is a hoot. The students would love to play with this as a writing tool. Lots of fun and plenty to motivate even the most reluctant writers in your class. 

"Writer’s Block can stop your creative efforts in their tracks and overcoming writer’s block is a tough task. WEbook is here to help you overcome this creative hurdle. Use our 911 Writers Block for helpful suggestions and ideas to get the creative juices flowing again."

CEO E-Learning Showcase 2011

I was invited to present a session at the E-learning Showcase at Randwick at Thursday. I spoke about a series of units that I wrote in collaboration with a Yr 10 class. The presentation outlined how that situation arose and the process that we used. As part of the collaborative process we decided that we needed to write our own textbook and thought we may as well make it a digital interactive text. We also decided to utilise an array of Web 2 tools, although the form of presentation of the student's tasks was actually negotiable.
