 * Drop in Sessions - Term 3:**

I want to start some Monday sessions where we can share ideas and tell each other how we have used ideas from our sessions in the classroom or in our personal lives (do we have one???) They will be Mondays 3.15 - 3.45??? in the BBI ICT Centre. Staff from BBI and Pigeon Mountain are welcome as we almost share a campus. Any other teachers in the cluster who wish to attend are very welcome on a drop in basis. Also welcome are any students who are interested in what we are doing. Leave any comments on the discussions page. These sessions are not cast in stone - we will edit them as we go. Some suggestions are - Session 1: delicious
