THE POWER OF VOICES Participants in this cohort session will investigate the power of “Voices” for students and teachers. How can teachers use their Voice in 21st Century ways to collaborate and continue to grow? How can students use their Voice to empower their learning through collaboration and reflection? The use of Voice and its intended audience will be investigated via the use of web 2.0 and multi media and include the use of mobile devices to develop and inform the participants’ Personal Learning Networks. We will be challenging our participants to use their Voices and to establish various means to communicate with their online Personal Learning Networks. Participants will reflect on their teaching and share their learning via web 2.0 and multi media using 21st century mediums such as blogs, Twitter, Edmodo, Voicethreads, movies, podcasts and Wikis or any other online mediums that the participants may select, using various tools including mobile devices.

The finished product will be a collaboration of participants’ Voices and a Personal Learning Network. The participants will have explored, experimented and chosen a way to publish their Voice. **Lois Smethurst,** Leading Teacher ICT, Berwick Lodge Primary School, VIC Twitter: loisath, Blog http://loisath.edublogs.org
