I have to share this.... Youtube has a video of Micheal Rosen acting the story of Going on a Bear Hunt. It is, as you would expect lively, exciting and inspirational and holds attention till the end. I had not come across this before until a PGCE student shared this after she had observed her mentor using it. The digital native who visits me occasional ( 22 months) stopped trying to wrestle me for the mouse to watch this and despite not having seen the story before joined in some actions especially putting his hands around his mouth too make cave sounds. This video is the next best thing to actually having Micheal in the classroom.

Flixn http://flixn.com/ Saw this on Kathy Cassidy's blog and the idea is spreading. A great tool for children to talk for a purpose.. tell the world.

Here are two teachers describing how they gently developed the use of web 2.0 technologies in their classrooms. These teachers have their eyes firmly on learning and teaching and are down to earth about what they are doing. They could be models of how to get started. The videos were made for online conferences that each has taken part in recently. Enjoy them. But think now …where are the teachers from other countries in Europe or the rest of the world giving their story of using web2.0, couldn’t find any on YouTube or TeacherTube .. if you know of anyone who has done it or is thinking of doing it let me know.
