Before I head off to Vienna for the European Innovative Teachers Forum with 3 Teachers from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland I though I’d put this up.

As you may know, I’ve been “banging on” about how powerful OneNote is in education. Well, I’m a regular visitor to Mike Tholfsen’s Blogsite “OneNote and Education”. He’s the Microsoft guru for this application. Mike has posted a video he put together with Dr. Ole Lauridsen from University of Aarhus in Denmark. If “Learning Styles” is of particular interest to you, you should take some time and watch their video (as delivered from a Live Meeting).

I’m going to be blogging and trying my Twitter while I’m attending, so make sure to visit this site and follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/tjinbelfast)

Well, it wasn’t an easy choice but the winners of this year’s Northern Ireland entries for the European Innovative Teachers Forum in Vienna, Austria have been chosen

They are Navanna Doherty from St. Mary’s College in Derry and David Stinson from Sullivan Upper School in Holywood.

This year there will be over 50 entries from across Europe, so the competition will be terrific. Make sure to visit the ITF blog site for the event and get all of the latest news and information.

I’ll be blogging from the event , so visit this site too!!

Congratulations to Navanna and David

 Good luck in Vienna
