Techno Chicken
Far out man! As soon as I saw this I thought of Bobby. Stop Laughing room 9. What is the answer to this question. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? You must give me reasons for your answer. Best answer will receive a green egg from Mr Woody. Thats right, a green one not a white one.

Collaborate, Innovate, Educate: Theme for Ulearn 2008
ULEARN Conference 2008
I spent four days collaborating ideas with 1700 innovative teachers from around New Zealand. The things I learnt include the use of web 2.0 applications, twitter, blogging, using free adobe products...(man these applications are expensive as) I really enjoyed the breakout session with Allanah King, an educator from Nelson. "Mean as!" I want a job like hers, promoting adobe products, free trips to Austrailia and getting to keep the software. What a choice one. I especially enjoyed being able to network with so many like-minded teachers who have the same passion and enthusiam for students and their learning. Teaching is the best profession! The kai through out the whole conference was mean as. Shot ULEARN, I can't wait till next year, Yee Yah!
