 **Welcome to the world of English. **

We all think that English is all about reading and writing, which may be true. However, we need to find more exciting and engaging ways to get students to become active participants in their learning. How can this be done, you may ask. It is as simple as integrating ICTs into our teaching. Integrating ICTs into our teaching is simple and effective, and is the reason why this wiki has been designed. ICTs are a "necessary part of enacting the whole curriculum; during planning, implementation, assessment and reporting" (Lecture Notes, Week One, Slide 30) //**﻿ **// //**This particular wiki is aimed at teaching a grade 3 year level with the main focus being put on parts of speech.**// It allows students to take on a social constructivist and constructivist roll through playing games, watching movies and a variety of other activities. It will consist of a variety of pages that teachers and students are able to access to see how engaging and meaningful English can be. Pages incorporated into the wiki include: Learning Experience, Curriculum Documents, Student Resources, Teacher Resources, Student Place, Glossary and a Reference list. The wiki provides teachers and students with an opportunity to share the work they have created from a variety of web 2.0 tools, which "increases the social aspect of communication and learning" (Lecture Notes, Week 5, Slide 4) with their co-workers, classmates and others in the community.

**So come along and explore how exciting and engaging English really is! **
