[] - accessing learning styles- Natasha Hunt []- numeracy, ready made worksheets - Natasha Hunt

// Some good links here Natasha! I am 75% Visual Learner, 0% Auditory Learner, 25% Kinesthetic Learner.. The Dad's Worksheet one looks really useful for learners as well! I think I need to add that to my favourites - Sue //

[] Recipes sourced from this site for my life skills classes - Margy Forester [] A terrific networking site to 'look in' on students - Margy Forester

//Thanks Margy! Middle of the afternoon here, halfway between lunch and dinner - my stomach is rumbling looking at those! And yes, Facebook (surprisingly to many) can be a great way to have learners connect and also learn. There are a number of different approaches out there using this site! Thanks for the links! :)//

//[|www.flickr.com]// For those who don't know, Flickr is a place where a group of people can put their photos so that others in the group can see them. I have started setting up accounts so each group of plumbing apprentices can upload photos of themselves at work. Apprentices come to TAFE for a one week block about every 6 weeks.The plan is that at the start of each block the whole class views the photos (via the smart board) that have been added since the previous block. Will give all apprentices the ability to see the variety of plumbing work carried out in the Valley. Everyone can interact, discuss, listen and learn.

//I absolutely ADORE Flickr Paul. Hands down one of my favourite resources on the internet. I think I am closing in on 12,000 images on there! EEK! I have seen some interesting uses of Flickr too, from a teaching and learning perspective. I really like how you are using Flickr in your class. Awesome stuff! Sue//

[|www.**pic**.vic.gov.au] This site I use to get technical information and lodge certificates of compliance. Any body can use it for information regarding their rights and responsibilities when dealing with plumbers. [|www.**esv**.vic.gov.au] This site is for information gas and electrical safety. I use this for the same reasons as a the other site The only other thing I use is shype to talk with my daughter in london and son in Canada. Otherwise I am in the great outdoors away from technology. PEACE Peter Quinn Plumbing Yallourn

// Hi Peter :) - thanks for these resources! Well done on finally getting in and being able to put something on the wiki! Cheers Sue //

[|www.apple.com/au/**iTunes**] A mate recently sent me 5000 songs, and some movies. amazing [|www.energymatters.com.au/government-**rebates**/] Allows me to access all information regarding suitable solar hot water systems and there rebates. Ben Merton Plumbing Excellence. Yallourn Ben: Had no idea there were 5000 songs and movies about hot water systems. Amazing! Clint]

[|www.diabetesaustralia.com.au] we use this website when teaching our nursing care for chronic patient. It has nursing and community information and is great for looking at the management of insulin dependant and non-insulin dependant diabetes. [|www.joannabriggs.edu.au] this website is used nationally by healthcare facilities and nursing teaching facilities. It looks at what is best practice for particular skills. It links the theory and the research performed. All our competencies are based on best practice. This is just 2 of many!! And I dont think I haded this comment correctly as I am in Ben's space. Anyway, will keep exploring and playing. Ta Meagan Anderson. Nursing Warragul. This is my PERSONAL SPACE you are invading,Meagan. //Meagan, a tip - try the "Insert horizontal line" tool, eight from the left on the toolbar, just left of the Link tool. You can fence Ben off before he gets grumpy and we have some online conflict. In fact I reckon use two lines and some barbed wire. That'll keep Paul's piglets out too. Clint//
