Wow, it all went so quickly! A big thanks to all of you who managed to attend, contribute and engage with what we were saying this morning. Please do let us know if you have a suggestion for future Breakfast Bytes sessions or if you'd like to present something. We love passion!
To summarize what I was saying this morning about building your own network of professional contacts, learning and resources, here are a few tips:
- Make your PD more personalised. Read blogs (your new Twitter friends should have one!)
- Attend a TeachMeet
- Find ways of sharing resources - Dropbox, wikis etc. How can YOU contribute? Think globally, not just within your own staffroom (but that helps too).
- Be open to new ideas and be willing to try something new in the classroom.
- Start your own blog - can be reflective or a place to share lesson ideas.
- Have a go at presenting something at Breakfast Bytes or a TeachMeet. We are all on a learning journey.

I'd encourage you to keep adding to the list. What inspires you? What have you found challenging? Continue the discussion...
Fiona.

As our inaugral meeting of 'Breakfast Bytes' draws near, we are looking forward to lots of sharing of ideas and examples of using technology in education. To start, we hope to dig into the fabulous PLNs out there which we could link into, sharing the collective wisdom of other professionals both locally and around the globe.

The response to this intitiative has been great so far (well done, Fiona) and we will be adjusting as we go to meet the needs of interested teachers. Please let us know of your needs, ideas and questions you have so that we can develop this to suit YOU.

As I think ahead to Tuesday, I am excited that already there are 15 people who have said yes to coming! I consider that to be an excellent response and I'm looking forward to sharing with you all.
I think we should get a hashtag started seeing as how we will be talking about Twitter. Any suggestions for something memorable and apt? Have a look at the contacts pages for our Twitter accounts and get in early and start following! Fiona.

What do you think of our mini website? You and your students can make them too with Weebly (a Google app). I hope you find the Breakfast Bytes sessions useful and you are inspired to use more ICT in your lessons. Hope to see you on Twitter! Fiona.
