Islay Schools, ICT, IT and Blogs
My mother was a teacher (in Germany), one of the first at her school (Grundschule Horner Heerstraße) to use computers for her work. As she retired a few years ago I now find it quite interesting to follow how computers and information technology (IT) are being used on Islay. One of the first sites I was aware of in that context was the Islay High School (IHS) website. But there's more to Islay schools and the internet:
In August 2006 I mentioned that Islay's Teachers are Blogging. They still are, here's the latest list of teachers from Islay I'm aware of who have a blog (or website) currently:
- Katherine MacMillan from Bowmore
- Kathleen Johnston from Port Ellen Primary
- Ian Stuart from IHS now blogs on Islay ICT
- While he's not blogging Ray Husthwaite (Science teacher at IHS) is also active on the web and running the Visit Islay site.
It's not only the teachers, the pupils on Islay are blogging as well (sometimes with a wee bit of help from the teachers):
- The Book Reviews from Port Ellen, Isle of Islay have been picked up again in preparation for the next Port Ellen Book Festival (June 16th-17th 2007)
- The Brilliant Beginnings blog reports about improvements to Port Ellen Primary including their Eco School Code
- Port Charlotte Primary School has a blog with various reports about their school projects
And finally some of the teachers use the internet for their own studies: Home working for student teachers. That's all I can think of, although I've got the feeling I've forgotten something. Well, that's for the next update then. Suggestion, corrections and complaints about omissions via e-mail please if you have any.
