2. Big Question: Should we use the web to showcase learning or to shift learning?
When you are looking at these sites, ask yourself these questions Early childhood education Hunter Park Mairtown Nayland Botany Downs Manaia Kindergarten Blog || Teachers in charge || Carlton School
 * What do these pages do?
 * Who is the audience?
 * Who creates the material that goes on the page?
 * Who contributes to the page?
 * Who creates the page?
 * Who is the learner?
 * === 1. Showcase Approach ===
 * === 2. Shift Learning Approach ===

Overall Teacher Judgments
During our session we had a short reading that explained the OTJ process. Here is the full paper written by Kerry Mitchell, The Education Group and ** Dr Jenny Poskitt, Massey University ** (I hope you get to meet Jenny, she's wonderful) that was Prepared for NZARE Conference, Auckland, December 2010.

As we said, the NZ Education system requires teachers of Y1-10 children to assess students using a range of tools and strategies rather than set tests. After this, Y11-13, we have standardised assessments called NCEA. To ensure reliable and valid data are being sent to the Ministry of Education around the National Standards, teachers gather evidence from a range of different sources and make an Overall Teacher Judgement (OTJ) about the level at which the child is achieving.
