This week’s online tutorial is about the Wikispace website and how to use it. I have never used or heard about this website before so I am quite worried about learning how to use it without the help from Jenni. I have realised that I have yet to receive an invitation from the website to join and have spent the last couple of days emailing around to get some help. I ended up looking to the discussion board and finding a discussion post that had the email to contact which was a big relief.

As my sister is one of my partners for this it is very handy when discussing what to do it on. Unfortunately Bianca (out other partner) has not emailed us back or tried to get in contact with either of us. While browsing on the Learning Federation came across a great interactive whiteboard resource that would be such as great thing to use when teaching about the digestive system to children in years 3-5. This topic themes like an interesting one to do it on as learning about the digestive system is so important so it will be great to see how entertaining teacher's can make it for the children. While I looked for a teaching network site my sister looked for a video or movie to use. I reminded her of our favourite television show when we were little was The Magic school Bus and how they travelled inside the human body to learn about the digestive system. On YouTube we were able to find the whole episode and watch it, it is such a great and entertaining way for children to learn so we are definitely going to run it by Bianca to use as a movie resource.

Not long after I managed to come across the Teachade networking website and what a great site it is. I typed in the digestive system and it came up with over 26 pages of lesson plans, quizzes, activities and videos for students. It is definitely a website I will be using when looking for resources. The teachers are able to publish their idea and receive feedback from teachers all over the world. 

This assignment seems like a lot of fun but I am still waiting for an email about Wikispace and I think I will have a lot of questions to ask about how to use it when I can sign on.
