The wonderful SLAV blog, Bright Ideas, has a brilliant entry today about how to use the format of Facebook (not the site itself) for a biography task; and links to a freely-available template.
Find it here.
Another blog that is a constant cornucopia of wonderful links is Anne Weaver's Reading Power. Just toddle over there regularly and you'll find roundup after roundup of links, ideas, inspiration. She's the blog I've featured on our school's (internal) staff blog this week.
Find Reading Power here.
Will Richardson (Weblogg-ed) offers in his most recent blog entry some thought-provoking and challenging ideas about Unlearning Teaching. Worth reading and thinking about, and talking about with colleagues.
These blogs are in my blogroll (over in the right hand column). Don't forget to check this regularly, as it shows the most recent entry for each blog - always something good to be found there.
Tagxedo (tag clouds With Style) was one of the Web 2.0 tools I mentioned at the WeSSSTA conference presentation I gave last night. I've been amused to see the Sydney Morning Herald use Tagxedo to create graphics related to the election - eg. the party leaders' launch speeches.
Cheers

I gave the Facebook idea a go with a Year 8 class studying Henry VII / Tudor history and it worked brilliantly! They loved it and you could really see them working out who their historical characters 'friends' were. We asked the students to rewrite the major historical events in that person's life as status updates. They did a great job.
Thanks for the post
