 * E-learning in Action– by Andrea Robertson **

Welcome to our very first e-learning in action column. If you are looking for ideas for using ICT to enhance learning and engage students then this is the place for you. With a focus on the latest web 2 and e-learning tools available this column will provide ideas, examples and tips for using with your class. There is so much “out there” it is often hard to know where to begin. The tools and ideas here will offer challenge and variety with connections made to relevant contexts and learning areas. Alongside the tools suggested in this column there will be a supporting forum for you to share your experiences, ask questions and collaborate with other.

Andrea is a teacher, who became an ICT facilitator, who then became a mum, who became a student, who then became an adviser, who became a Teacher Education Fellow. She lectures in e-learning, curriculum and technology at The University of Otago College of Education. She is passionate about teaching whether it’s in the classroom with 8 year olds or in the College classroom with 18 year olds. She is even more passionate about learning, is learning every day, and is always ready to learn more!
