Let\’s Blog

I was pleasantly surprised today when I co-presented at an ICT education conference with a colleague. As a co-presenter I quickly became redundant when the skill level of the audience was very proficient, one participant was taking notes for staff back at school using wikispaces . I was also impressed when participants were working ahead in the hands on sections and signing up to various Web 2.0  communities.

Well if you are reading this post you are now in my Blogging and Podcasting PD session at Horsham College!

I hope that you will take away some really useful skills that you can apply to your professional and personal life and if not enjoy the light refreshments!

Day 4 the final session on blogging and podcasting for this round of PD’s.

May has been a very busy month for the YVeLC, we have been delivering a vast selection of PD sessions around the Yarra Valley. There are a couple more to go this week so if you have missed any there is still time!

My Pd sessions went well and have been really productive with teachers sharing their ideas on how we can incorporate blog’s and podcast’s into our classrooms and beyond. Thanks to everybody who has come to my sessions, I look forward to working with you again.

I hope you also will take away some really useful skills that you can apply to your professional and personal life and if not… enjoy the light refreshments and good company!

Day 3 of the blogging and podcasting experience has finally arrived!

Since my last session at Croydon there has been various blogs set up over a variety of schools, such as a year 8 English class writing ‘Hero’s Quests’, Leadership Team Professional Learning/Reading, a teachers short stories published for the world, a personal blog for family overseas etc…. and a new question each day from a variety of staff getting into blogging!

I hope that you also will take away some really useful skills that you can apply to your professional and personal life and if not… enjoy the light refreshments and good company!

Wow!

This is all I can say after attending a PD with Marco Torres.

Marco Torres is recognised around the world for his passion and commitment to helping students engage with powerful learning and ensuring they acquire the skills needed to thrive in the digital culture of the 21st century.

Check out his website ‘Marco Torres’ to see what some of his students have produced.

He has definately inspired, energised and empowered me and continued my excitement for education in the 21st century .

I thought I would continue to share this interesting and motivating presentation that was sent around the YVeLC list. It was created by Darren Draper and I think is worth a look?
