Jo McLeay is a teacher of English in a secondary school in Melbourne, Australia. She is the also the newly apponted Head of English at her school. She is completing a Masters of Education by research. The Open Classroom is one of my favorite blogs! Why? Well the focus is on students, writing, blogging, good teaching and technology. All these topics are near and dear to my heart.
