__Kia ora and welcome to Ulearn 07'__
My name is Sara Taylor and I am the ICT Facilitator for the Manawatu Cluster in Palmerston North. Our vision is to "develop thinking and creativity through ICT" If you have any questions of require any further information please feel free to contact me staylor@whakarongo.school.nz or have a look at our cluster website resources http://centre4.interact.ac.nz/direct/mic

One area that I am passionate about is Visual Literacy. Within our cluster we have been experimenting with many tools that support this within the classroom programme.
