ICT sharing

Staff Meeting

Thanks to Robyn and Jessica for sharing ....

Here's Robyn's website: (watch this space....)

Jessica shared the timer on Interwrite - it can be used for group rotations, coming to the mat in a certain amount of time, packing up etc.

Making your blog private...

I had a question from Robyn a while ago... she mentioned that on blogger she could scroll the "next blog" and a random blog would show.

She then asked me... "Could my blog show up here?"

I have now remembered that you can make your blog private by going to settings and changing the 2 questions below to NO.
