Google Earth is an interactive way for students to access and gain information in an interactive and collaborative setting. Students can work together or in small groups to research information such as maps, explore cities, ancient sites(Google Lit Trips) and explore local or global sites.
Scribble maps are great for subjects such as Maths and SOSE where students can engage in areas such as measurement and mapping.
Students can explore students from other countries where they live and compare this to their own area.
I enjoy using this tools because it is easy to use caters for a variety of learners.

My Wiki
This is my wiki
http://www.tessa24.wikispaces.com/
Wiki is an online space that allows you to share information, knowledge and ideas without the use of email. It is collaborative and allows any reader to add or edit information. Its is easy, fun and creative.
The important things to remember about using a wiki, however is that you must trust the people who have access to the wiki as information can be changed.
I really like the online example of how wiki's can be used in an educational setting usch as the online text book. What a wonderful way for students to engage and work collaboratively. It allows students to be creative and access and add information from a variety of resources that can be shared with their peers.

ICT Frameworks and Theory
After reading 'A framework for technology-based teaching and learning' (Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1998) and The Big6 (Eisenberg & Berkowitz), the Big6 is the framework I would perfer to use to teach information and technology skills to students. It is a problem-solving model that focesses on engaging students in six carefully scaffolded steps to solve an information problem. It is a natural process that can be done individually for colloraboratively. It is authentic and easy to follow and can be applied to non ICT situations such as education and work. The Big6 engages students in essential life skills that can be integrated into classroom activities and curriculum.
