Planning and Preparing for School

Believe it or not a teacher's summer break is not all wine and roses. It is a time to unwindish, and leave the classroom behind in part, but somehow, over the last couple of summers particularly, I haven't been able to leave it behind completely. Most of the holiday has been spent writing in one way or another, and catching up on things I need to do in my personal professional development catologue. Today with 4 days left until the beginning of term, I have been thinking about and planning/framing Literacy and language study units for the next few weeks and designing a unit of work around the use of Web 2.0 tools and esafety. After time to try it out with my students, I will publish this and some of the ideas on my teaching and learning blog.
