__** Welcome Everyone to ICTPD Along the River **__

Well I'm practising what I preach tonight - playing in the ad breaks of Dancing on Ice to construct the beginnings of a wiki for the community. I couldn't find the original cluster proposal to use your name for the wiki, so have had to make up my own. I hope you enjoy and build the learning.

Remember this is a community effort and success will depend on each of us being tall poppies and being prepared to contribute. Just click "Edit", add your ideas and save the page. Notice that I have created a variety of pages so choose the appropriate page to add your ideas. If no page is appropriate, create a new one by clicking on "Edit navigation" and type a new page name below the list. Highlight the page text then click on the Link icon - it will be asking you if you want to link to a page of that name so click OK. Save the page and your new page will now appear in the navigation.

Remember the key messages from our starter session:
 * Learning should be FUN! It should also be challenging, have rising levels to strive for and provide success and intrinsic incentive for all.
 * Work from the learning intentions to the ICT not the other way round.
 * Give it a go - be a lifelong learner, risk taker, problem solver, self manager, participator and contributor etc.
 * Let the kids work it out and teach you - know what you want them to achieve and teach the strategies for learning.
 * Create sandpit or e-play time for kids to explore and share the learning - do the same for yourselves - TV ad breaks are great for this.
 * Be a team player and share the learning with our community.
