Welcome to School, Tasmania!

At the end of some intensely hot summer holidays, your colleagues from Tasmania have just started a brand new school year. Australian and New Zeland students will be joining soon. Let’s greet them with our best wishes for this new stage in their lives.
This initiative would match the last suggestion on the Random Acts of Kindness WeekCalendar and we would join Jose’s tagging for this meme: go and write an encouragement message on someone else’s blog, as an “anti-cyberbullying” behaviour…
You could also write a post sharing some of your best strategies to study; for instance:
- While studying, are you aware of creating any visual pictures of the subjects you are reading or writing?
- Or, on the contrary, do you listen to the silent voice of your thougths speaking up the texts?
- Do you usually write summaries and reorganize notes taken during classes?
- Do you create mind maps or diagrams to visualize the relations between concepts?
- Do you participate in a work group belonging to at least two different countries and making presentations by skype cast?
So, you may share your best tips for an efficient study in a blog post, or visit the Australian and New Zeland student blogs welcoming them to school, or both.
Just follow your inspiration and remember to link to this post.

Stora Ines,
What a great way to welcome the Australian and New Zealand schools back into the land of blogging. Next week I will be creating blogs for students in both grades 6/7 and my grade 8 ICT class. I will make sure they are linked on the blogroll on the sidebar of the blogs and I will be recommending the students start coming to this blog to learn how to write great comments. They will also be able to visit the other student blogs to make decisions about themes and widgets as all the grade 8 students will be at least 13 years old.
Starting in less than two weeks will be the new 2009 student blogging challenge. We have some new students joining us that did not take part last year, so hopefully they will enjoy themselves over the next ten weeks.
If you or your students haven’t registered yet, visit here to sign up for the challenge : http://wyatt67.edublogs.org/2009/01/18/a-new-year-means-a-new-challenge/

Wow…I wish our school year was more toward the beginning of the year instead of August. I teach in Beaufort, South Carolina and can’t wait for the blogs to be up and running for your new year so my students can post to them.
