Teachers from all the four schools in the central North cluster group attended to investigate "Virtual Field Trips." Teachers from the junior syndicate at Northcote Primary had participated in one of the <a href="http://www.learnz.org.nz/index.php">LEARNZ field trips</a>. The field trip was about the NZ Kiwi and was completed at the end of 2006. This was a great example of a learning community at work. I am sure all teachers went away with a very clear picture of how they could use Online field trips to enhance the learning of their own students. It is a stepping stone to further investigation of online projects. The review of how you can use virtual field trips with your teachers is available <a href="http://ictnz.wikispaces.com/Cluster+Share+Northcote+Primary">here </a><br />For those of you who haven't had a chance to overview what LEARNZ can offer their website is packed with archives of past field trips which you can access for free as long as your school takes out an annual membership.<br />Other project links for you to investigate are.....<br /><br /><a href="http://http//english.unitecnology.ac.nz/resources/projects/home.html">ENGLISH ON LINE</a><br /><a href="http://www.iearn.org/projects/">IEARN </a> <br /><a href="http://www.k12science.org/collabprojs.html">CIESE</a> <br /><a href="http://www.britishcouncil.org/montagenz-projects.htm">MONTAGE NZ</a> <br /><a href="http://www.epals.com/projects/">EPALS PROJECTS</a> <br /><a href="http://www.ozprojects.edna.edu.au/sibling/home">SOUTH OZ PROJECTS</a><br /><a href="http://www.gsn.org/GSH/pr/index.cfm#sec2">GLOBAL SCHOOL HOUSE</a><br /><br /><a href="http://ahg.wikispaces.com/Online+Projects">MORE ON ONLINE PROJECTS</a><br /><a href="http://www.gsn.org/GSH/pr/index.cfm#sec2"> </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/701628795985520196-208473623667872482?l=auckland-homegroup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Auckland ICT PD Homegrouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09171481167900361567noreply@blogger.com0
