I am working in New Zealand, was born in QLD and trained to teach in Melbourne. Currently I am a syndicate leader at a large normal school in Wellington. Normal schools support trainee teachers by having heaps of them and being closely affiliated with the Universities training teachers. I teach year 3 / 4 which is 7 and 8 year olds. Previously I taught at an Intermediate school, which is year 7 / 8 - eleven and twelve year olds.
During term four of last year I ran a class wiki using wikispaces.com. We investigated the role of images in 'Events that have changed the world'. This was a great learning experience for myself and my class, and a huge part of my teaching development in 2007. This year I am getting back to my Masters study and plan to finish at the end of 2009.
I will keep posting and chatting with you all. Hope to hear from people soon.

Hi Betina,
Welcome to the 'blogosphere!'
Hi Betina
Thanks for all the links you have given on readings on Wikis. They gave me a bit more direction on ways I may be avalable to use them in the classroom.I had only dabbled a little bit but I am now keen to add this feature in my classroom.
