This week, I promote a CPD event, 'Using the Social Web to Develop the Four Capacities'; look into how Learning and Teaching Scotland are using new technologies to share 'best practice'; comment on the SQA Review; introduce the It's Elementary webcast and Young Scot podcasts, and the idea of a 'backchannel'; and talk about what has been happening in my class recently.

Show notes are here.

This week, I share some of my class planning for the school year.  This includes: how I and other educators are using Twitter; my video conferencing plans; using Big Brain Academy and the Wii in class; encouraging pupils to create a podcast to meet assessment outcomes; Sharon Tonner's Voices of the World 'eTwinning' podcast project; Voki talking avatars; creating a orienteering Mediascape; the new Scottish Internet Safety unit qualification; and using Voicethread as part of a teacher and pupil presentation.
