Sample VoiceThread & a talented robot...
I'd like to thank all of the teachers who took part in our IGNITE Camp training over the last two days! I'm really looking forward to running our three IGNITE Camps in a few weeks :-)
Feel free to post your own comments or reflections on the following VoiceThread...
Also, here is a short video demonstrating the abilities of one very active little robot:

Our blog is ready!

As teachers who will be running IGNITE Camps in their classrooms over the next few weeks, I'd like all of you to experience blogging first-hand.
We'll be using this blog to post questions for our students to consider. All students will be asked to reflect on their learning experiences as they take part in IGNITE camp. Through responding to our questions on this blog, their reflections will be shared with the entire IGNITE community.
Encouraging our students to blog will accomplish many things. As students explore blogging and respond to each other's comments, we should see some interesting things happening. The students who take part in IGNITE Camp will have many opportunities to present and share their work with a larger audience than they are used to...
While taking part in the two days of training at M.E.C.Y., you will be shown how to access this blog, how to post comments to this blog, and we'll also talk a little bit about subscribing to blogs in general :-)
Welcome to IGNITE @ Brooklands!
