Europa - Information Society - Digital Agenda Scoreboard - Netherlands
The Netherlands are one of the world leaders in broadband. Interestingly when I visited the Netherlands they do not have the same restrictions on websites in the classroom that we have in the UK. Teacher's make great use of the resources on youtube and other websites for the children.

80% of households having internet connection. This suggests that the majority of children will have some access to the internet. This means we must consider how we teach children to be safe and embrace new technology.
We also seem to be at the forefront of internet shopping is this a good thing or not?

ipad and itouch Apps
From the workshop on using mobile technology in schools at the eTwinning European Conference I created this mind map using idea sketch. It is by no means a comprehensive list of all the apps you could use but it is a good starting place.
I have watched my daughter this morning pick a recipe from my ipad cookie doodle app her friend is playing tic tac toe phonics just for fun even though it is the school holidays because it is 'just a game' and Sean has recorded a movie on his itouch. These are our digital natives who move seamlessly from one device to another incorporating them into everyday life. As teacher's we need to facilitate children's learning through the advances in technology. The teachers of the future are those who I met at the conference with enthusiasm and commitment to using technology to create 21st century learning.

Click here to see the mindomo of some web 2.0 websites that I have made.
This is a website I found out about at the eTwinning European Conference. I would be interested to see how other people use it.
During the session I made a mind map using the app idea sketch. Using idea sketch you can either share is via idea sketch on IOS devices, share it as a picture or share it as a list in a pdf format which can be emailed.

eTwinning European Conference in Berlin
Having returned from the eTwinning European conference in Berlin I am trying to plan and organise how I am going to use and share all the inspirational things that I have learnt. I have copious notes on my iPad including mind maps I made, lists of websites, apps and ideas that I wish to explore. Alongside this is the idea of what education will look like in the 21st Century and how we as teachers can facilitate and foster this.
First I aim to look at the websites that were shown to us in the web 2.0 workshop and then decide which could be used in my eTwinning projects and other projects in school. I will probably begin with getting one of my four children to use prezzi to do their homework and see how they get on.
