Inspiration

In 2007 I went to the Ulearn Technology Conference in Auckland. It was a very valuable professional development experience. During my time at the conference I went to a fantastic session taken by Allanah King. Her session was titled "More Bling for your blog". Remembering this gave me inspiration for my current action research. I was thinking about reading activities used by teachers. The idea of a traditional book report came to mind. I then came to the conclusion that I wanted the children to complete "Book Reports with Bling". Therefore, keeping the important elements of book report but adding interest and "bling" through technology.
