Four classes and four teachers thoroughly enjoyed our quad in 2014! We all agreed that we've made some great connections with each other and our classes. As such, we've decided that we would like to keep in touch with each other in 2015.
Therefore we will continue our Quadblogging together in 2015 and have decided not to sign up for new quads.
The classes involved are: Reefton Area School - Judy McKenzie Clyde School - Steph Kitto Eastern Hutt School - Alina Pescini Broadlands School - Marnel van der Spuy
Thank you to Barbs (creator of Quadblogging Aorearoa) for this great opportunity to be part of a blogging community in New Zealand Aotearoa.
PS. If you are still wondering if you should get involved, all I can say is "Go for it, your students will thank you for this opportunity!"
Enjoy your Quadblogging journey.

"Keeping up with the biggest trends in education is no easy task. There are many that come and go before you even realize what they were. There are a few major learning trends that don’t look like they’re going away anytime soon. That’s become they've proven themselves to effective methods of helping students of any age learn. That is the idea of education, after all, no?" - Jeff Dunn
An interesting post around this concept: http://dailygenius.com/personalized-learning/

Hi Tash
Thank you so much for sharing how and what you use at your school! Much appreciated.
Is it possible to share an example of what such a powerpoint with next steps etc. might look like?I use kidblog as ePortfolio with my students http://kidblog.org/Little-Giants2014/. It is easy to tag posts (helps with evidence for OTJ) and students enjoy having their own blog to share their learning.
