Room 9’s Blog has made the finals of the Interface Magazine Best Class Blog awards!! Clemency Wright is a stunning teacher and has a wonderful classroom. Her blog began as a tentative toe dipped in the water and has grown over the past couple of years into a central part of her classroom and classroom programme. In the usual way with people who do fabulous things she simply sees it as normal, nothing special, and rather mundane. It is none of these things! It is a wonderful example of the way Web2.0 technologies can break down the barriers between home and school, make the classroom programme ‘transparent’ and bring families into the school in so many different ways. Please take a look at the website and vote for her class blog. (you do have to be a NZ teacher, or employed in a school to vote though) She thoroughly deserves the accolades!

Room 9 really SHINES!!!!!

An interesting note too – 3 of the 10 finalists in the Awards are classrooms and teachers from Dunedin. Two are from our ICT PD Cluster. How good are we!
