Communicating from Canberra
      The author of this blog is Henrietta, a teacher from a girls school in Sydney. Henrietta is blogging about her group "Year 6"'s annual trip to Canberra. It was for three days. Henrietta went on tours, viewed the city, went to a museum, and much more. She stated that this year was easier to leave family and friends. Some of the group found it hard to leave loved ones, while others viewed the trip as a much needed break. She and her fellow teacher Mrs. T blogged and tweeted about the trip regularly so that parents and people from all over could stay informed about the trip.      
comment 1I told Henrietta that I was glad to hear her trip went well. I have actually never heard of Canberra. I told her it was amazing to come across her blog and read about this place that seems so amazing. All of the activities she attended seemed so fun and interesting, yet full of history. I said I could not imagine getting all of that done in only three days and she and her students must have been exhausted. The parents must have loved being updated throughout their trip. It was such a thoughtful idea to keep them updated. Visit her blog here: Communicating From Canberra

Go Teach This
      In this blog post, Henrietta is promoting a website called Go Teach This! It was created by Adrian Bruce, an Australian teacher who Henrietta truly believes gives back to the community. Adrian has always created educational games with instruction, and given them away. He has now brought all of these games together on his website, goteachthis.Here is the link: go teach this websiteThe site has printable math and reading games. It is said that he printables make learning sociable, visible, and fun! The printables have game boards, playing bards, rules, hints, and even teaching notes. Henrietta explains that she is a supporter of Adrian because he has worked so hard. The site has 150+ games. They are fun and they appeal to all learning needs.      
Comment 2       I responded by telling Henrietta how great it is that Adrian has someone so supportive. I let her know that she even convinced me to go look at his website. He really does have some great educational resources. I told her she did a great job campaigning for his new website, and the word should definitely circulate. I informed her a link was added to my blog as well. Best of luck to Adrian and his new business.
