This document discusses professional learning (PL) around using iPads and mobile devices in the classroom to develop 21st century skills in students. It emphasizes that the focus should be on learning outcomes rather than the technology itself. Teachers are encouraged to engage in self-directed PL through trial and error, reflection, and collaboration with others. The document provides an e-learning planning framework to help teachers integrate iPads into teaching and learning over time, starting with small, personal uses and building up to more advanced classroom applications.
This is my presentation from this year's Social Media Geek here in Glasgow.
Equator were the lead city sponsors and as well as covering innovation in the social media sphere, we wanted to talk about how we plan to use these tools to improve the experience of the next generation of talent in our sector and beyond.
The digital and creative sectors really suffer from a lack of job-ready graduates. It’s time that we employ our skills to fix this problem.
I believe we can transform education to create better graduates with more opportunities and a healthier landscape for business growth.
For graduates, professionals and businesses, building a strong reputation or brand in the digital social sphere is now an important ingredient for success.
This reputation is no longer simply based on the work you do, it’s about the good you do too.
I'm proposing social utilities that help both individuals and businesses build their reputation through digital mentoring.
Pretty soon, the credentials you earn earn by sharing your knowledge with graduates or buddying with key people in the industry will be vital to getting your next job or promotion.

This document provides an overview of blended learning and discusses strategies for effective professional development (PD). It begins with an icebreaker activity to encourage participation. Next, it includes a needs assessment to determine an organization's capacity for blended approaches. It then compares traditional face-to-face PD with online/virtual methods. The rest of the document defines blended learning and its key components, provides a glossary of relevant terms, and discussion prompts to apply the content. The overall aim is to support educators in blending virtual and face-to-face strategies for high-quality, effective PD.
This document contains the presentation slides from Chris Kennedy, Superintendent of Schools from West Vancouver School District, given on October 4, 2012 to the Kamloops/Thompson School District about driving innovation in public education through digital learning. The presentation outlines Kennedy's vision for personalized learning for every student powered by technology, including developing a strategy for personally-owned devices, communication and collaboration tools, and digital literacy. It proposes a 5-year plan starting with introducing new learning norms and building capacity in early grades, then expanding to develop district-wide K-12 digital learning plans focused on learning rather than technology.
Campus change agent - building a campus web community where there is noneMatt Herzberger
Do you have lots of web people on your campus? Feel like there are no cohesive bonds? Even in our siloed higher ed culture, it just takes a small dedicated group to rally the troops.
We will explore how to build community on a campus through various different approaches including creating a university web group to provide leadership, idea exchange and learning opportunities for web professionals and others around campus. Work to create collaborative web policies that will enable people to do things following best practices. Create a culture of open data so people will embrace the use of central tools. Blog about the state of web on campus and keep an open and continued dialogue. Provide campus thought leadership and advise executives on major decisions. Create collaborative spaces where people from different teams can work to solve common problems on campus. Build campus wide tools that leverage and produce open source software and have open planning sessions with community members. Have coffee talks with community members to provide advice, be an advocate or simply lend a friendly ear. Do work pro-bono to help people with their goals that will also advance campus goals. Look outside of campus to leverage local tech and entrepreneurship. And last but not least look to the national communities UwebD, BlogHighEd, HigherEDLive, eduStyle etc. and our friendly peer institutions to provide solutions and best practices for campus.
We must recognize that no one person is able to accomplish a better web on campus or community, therefore we must be open to a plan that encourages networking, cooperative relationships with others outside the campus, and implementation of practices that may reach our goal of a simple “better web on campus.”
This document discusses collaboration in teaching and learning. It defines collaboration as going beyond cooperation to involve social and networked learning where knowledge is shared and belongs to the group rather than individuals. Web 2.0 tools now allow students to interact and learn in new ways through social networking and sharing ideas. The future of education will focus on collaboration using tools like Google Apps to jointly create and edit documents online in real-time from any location. Schools need to teach, model, and create a culture of collaboration to reflect the skills needed in post-secondary education and careers.
This document discusses effective team management. It defines a team and explains that teams are effective because they can achieve higher quality outcomes, higher efficiency, faster speed, and more thoughtful ideas than individuals working alone. Characteristics of effective teams include clear expectations, commitment, competence, collaboration, and communication. The document also discusses fostering team creativity, dealing with conflicts, and conducting team building exercises.
5 Disciplines to Recruiting Excellence Kevin Wheeler
The document discusses how five disciplines and analytics can drive recruiting excellence. It outlines challenges recruiters now face including dealing with ambiguity, complexity, and new interdependencies. Recruiters must also be creative. Recruiting excellence is defined as being efficient, effective, simple, and innovative. A model is presented based on Peter Senge's five disciplines: personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, team learning, and systems thinking. Analytics is at the core. Recruiters must challenge assumptions, foster team learning, strive for personal mastery, and take a systems view using analytics.
Short PowerPoint I put together which I use in the first tutorial of the semester when students are to form groups/team for assessment and tutorial purposes.

Blending the Social and the Serious for Individual and Organizational Perform...Human Capital Media
The convergence of the economic environment and corporate talent challenges has led to the need for highly flexible corporate learning strategies. Can we provide a learning environment that accelerates development within the organization through leveraging expertise outside its boundaries? We will share our work in blending asynchronous content, live events, personal learning curricula and value-added social networking to provide a comprehensive and sustainable learning environment.
Nancy Keeshan, Executive Director, Duke Corporate Education Inc.
Stephen Mahaley, Director, Learning Technology, Duke Corporate Education Inc.
The document discusses the benefits of collaboration in learning and the workplace. It promotes deeper knowledge, initiative, creativity, critical thinking, and co-creation of knowledge. Effective collaboration fosters benefits like creativity, efficiency, overcoming monotony, and morale. It also discusses the stages of group development, factors that help or hinder groups, and tips for instructors to ensure successful collaboration in online classrooms.
This document discusses the importance of creativity in education and how technology can foster creativity. It notes that creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy. While people understand creativity is important, they don't always understand what it is. The document outlines how digital tools can encourage production skills and creativity in instructional environments. It also discusses using failure and diverse instructors to promote creativity. Courses at Seton Hall University focus on innovative student-created projects and encourage risk-taking without fear of failure to develop creativity.
1. The document discusses eLearning initiatives for schools, focusing on bicycles (flexible projects) vs. tricycles (more stable projects).
2. It proposes measuring student and parent readiness for eLearning through frameworks and surveys, and providing training courses to help parents support their children's eLearning.
3. Services are outlined that provide schools infrastructure, content, and professional development support for 1-to-1 eLearning programs utilizing mobile apps to engage students and communicate with parents.
Creating Synergy Through Positive Culture and Powerful StructuresDiane Lauer
The document discusses creating synergy through positive culture and purposeful structures. It defines synergy as individuals being more successful or productive by working together, accomplishing things not possible alone. The objectives are to understand strategies to enhance relationships and develop leadership tools to accomplish goals. Various activities are outlined to help staff work together including sharing names and goals, thinking in pairs and groups, and checking assumptions. The importance of vision, strategy, coherence and synergy through relationships to achieve sustained achievement is discussed. Guidance is provided on articulating goals and mapping a plan to achieve them, with knowledge and skills specified. Ways to keep targets visible and provide differentiated professional development are also outlined.
1) Peer learning among adult students can achieve better learning outcomes than formal learning alone by allowing students to learn from each other's experiences, questions, and practice.
2) Digital literacy skills are increasingly important for adults and demand new approaches like peer learning and networking to facilitate sharing, collaboration, and learning from others.
3) A peer learning course for developing digital competencies showed improvement in students' skills over time as beginners became more moderate or expert users through self-organized learning, online lessons, team projects, and just-in-time individual and group support.
Here are three things I can begin doing tomorrow based on this workshop:
1. Map out the environmental factors that will influence my course design, including the learners, classroom, department, and discipline.
2. Draft an ideal outcome statement describing the impact I want my course to have on students in the short and long-term.
3. Review principles of backward design and alignment to ensure my course activities and assessments support the intended learning outcomes.
Two things I need to learn more about are:
1. Applying constructivist learning principles when designing course tasks and activities.
2. Strategies for connecting my course content and skills to real-world audiences and applications.

What You Should Be Doing to Integrate the Tools of Technology into Instructionjohnhendron
This document discusses strategies for integrating technology into teaching. It recommends five strategies: 1) Classroom blogging, which allows students to become publishers and fosters introspection; 2) Using technology for research and problem-solving to develop information literacy skills; 3) Using digital media like photos to enhance visual learning; 4) Having students collect and organize their knowledge into databases, wikis or blogs to provide their own scaffolding; and 5) Using targeted drill and practice software to be effective when it provides feedback and connections to the real world are made. The document emphasizes that technology should enhance and improve instruction, accommodate access issues, and foster discovery and constructivist learning through higher-order thinking.
This workshop aims to demonstrate what has been a successful model for teacher leadership of the Digital Education Revolution in secondary schools. Through informal discussion and demonstration of specific software and Web 2.0 applications, participants will be introduced to a variety of strategies that have been used to overcome barriers to success that confront teachers.
The aim of this presentation is to facilitate discussion and provide participants with a toolbox of strategies to bring about a 21st Century shift in pedagogy, learning styles and learning environments. Both presenters are leaders of DER within their schools and have collaborated on a number of inter-school projects promoting the innovative integration of technology into the 21st century classroom.

As has been explained the major part of my presentation is looking at how we have used technology to enhance teamwork and collaboration within our team. However to start I thought I’d mention some of the aspects that we feel help us to work well as a team. I am in no way going to stand here and say we are a perfect team however we are a team that is continually looking to improve and as you can see from the first slide, which contains some of the key terms and phrases that we feel are aspects of our team, we believe we have created a climate of growth where we are continually looking to move forward. As a department we have many similarities however in some ways we have differences especially in terms of our strengths and weaknesses. This is why we place such an importance on having a Positive, encouraging, supportive environment which makes people feel comfortable to try new things and work together to improve. This is often demonstrated in the use of technology where the department is extremely enthusiastic however some would claim to not be hugely confident in their use. We constantly support each other and try to help each other to move forward and improve for the benefit of our students We also feel that this mood of positivity stimulates individuals to contribute but without feeling pressurised or forced too. I’d also add that the team is not suppressed by a hierarchical structure or restrictive sense of pecking order. Everyone feels equally valued. I’d say we have clearly defined however many shared roles within a tihtly managed an clearly led dept. When we look at our team we look further than the department of 6 Our Wider team contains many additional staff who help with extra curricular clubs and contribute greatly to many aspects such as inter house events. We are fortunate in that the school as a whole place a high value on PE & Sport and that comes from the headteacher down. We all see the value Physical activity whether health related or sport can play in every students life. Having this support has meant we have been able to implement many of the ideas and initiatives we have.
To take the famous phrase “there is no I in team” however if I could pinch Vicky Pollard’s yeah but no but…. Our team is one that does allow the individual to flourish. I’d certainly back this up in the support and freedom I’ve been given in my personal interest in innovating using modern technologies.
As you saw on the first slide we feel that having a clear and shared goal helps us to stay focussed as a team A few years back we decided to re-visit this area and develop our own mission statement. We felt it important for us to consider what we are aiming to achieve as a department and came up with the following:
Read
This mission statement has center stage in our re-developed school gym/health and fitness centre
We also have a clear set of values that we look to embed within our students within the subject – these are values that we espouse to also D – Determination Y – Your Efforts F – Fun F – FulfilmentR – Respect Y – Your Fitness N – Never Say Can’t T – Teamwork A – Attitude F – Friendships
Now the major part of my presentation is about how we have used technology to enhance our teamwork
When looking at developing a successful team, we look at how technology can enhance our teaching and learning This can occur by making us more efficient so we are doing what we do best and not spending too much time on jobs that are important but take us away and sap our energy from the time we spend with our students Enhancing communication and collaboration are also areas that we feel technology has enhanced our department to improve the learning and learning experiences of our students
These are some of the tools that I’d like to talk about today. I included our email client Zimbra on the list as despite the fact that nearly everyone has email now, the shared calendar tool is one of the most valuable tools we have. Our PE fixtures, practices are shared to everyone that needs from admin staff to 5x60 officer. This ensures good communication. Staff can update via their iPhones and instantly update the PE calender for all to see. This saves time spent phoning, leaving notes for office ensuring everyone is aware of what activities are running throughout the week. Next, our department website…
This forms the central base for staff, students, parents and the wider community to access a wide variety of information about PE and School Sport As you can see from the very simple homepage, we have a host of links on the left together with our twitter feed in the centre-more on that later! The left hand side links allow access to GCSE, A Level and BTEC pages which contain lesson notes, links and podcasts created for them to access at any time. The schools’s moodle is also linked as video casts (vodcasts) are available there for students to access. Flipping the classroom-Kahn Academy-video lectures for homework-work in school We also have a video highlights page which links to our Youtube site named Dyffryn Taf PE TV Which brings me nicely onto our use of Social Media
Twitter has become an excellent tool for us within the department. Although the website has a latest news section. Updating it does become tedious and often due to time restraints it was not being done as often as we would like. Also due to the more advanced nature of the updating process I was looking for a simpler way to allow all staff to update the latest news section. This is where Twitter comes in. Most of the department now has the app on their iPhones and can update the department twitter feed from their phones wherever they are, on way back from fixtures, at the end of an alevel lesson… This feed is then displayed on our department homepage meaning students do not have to have access to twitter to see the news. We also created a facebook page that displays all tweets also. This means, results, fixtures, recommended reading can be uploaded when and wherever staff are-you never know when you are going to get a good idea! At the end of each week the tool paper.li is used to create a newsletter/newspaper of all the weekly tweets. This can be a good recap for everyone to see at the end of the week. After sign up this happens automatically and this paper can be shared with all…
Here’s an example of our paper from last week which includes a story we are extremely proud of with a student in year 12 representing Wales in an under 18 tournament in Madrid. If your eyes are good enough you can probably read the story the WRU ran with about Shaun Edwards being part of their coaching staff. You’ll be glad to hear they did lose to England mind-even if we have your best coach!!
In looking at easier and more efficient ways for staff to upload information and lesson notes for students, specifically within their examination subject teaching we have looked to the use of blogging. The ease of updating and relative simplicity makes it easier for staff to upload information for students to access Our Alevel students also receive their own blogs for them to post information and create collaboration and interaction
The schools adoption of Google apps for education has also meant effective collaboration using many of google’s tools Using google docs, we can create documents and access and edit them collaboraively. The spreadsheet above is a fitness testing unit we deliver. Using google docs staff can edit the spreadsheet from anywhere at the same time – gym, sportshall, classroom via laptops, ipads, iphones…. This unit leads onto student work within PSE lessons where they set themselves health and fitness targets for the future. Using google docs means we can share the document with the relevant teachers quickly and easily Maths….
The next slide shows a BTEC student assignment which has some marking by myself, the subject teacher. This can be shared back with the internal veryfyer within the department who can see my comments on the student work and what I have awarded. The student is also part of the process
You may have noticed on the department homepage links a link for something called audioboo Audioboo is a free tool that we use to create podcasts for the students to listen to before and after GCSE and Alevel lessons to further their understanding and enhance learning. We’ve had much positive feedback from them on this. Staff have the app downloaded on their iPhones and can create a “boo” or podcast and upload it within minutes-when created a tweet is automatically sent to inform students. This then obviously appears instantly on the school website, facebook page and will appear in the weekly newpaper
As I was preparing for this presentation I thought I’d query some of my colleagues on Twitter on “ what were their favored tools for teamwork”
Here are some of the replies I received from teachers in Australia, America and lecturer in the UK…
It sounds like a pitch for twitter but I must highlight how much of an excellent professional development tool it has been for me and now some of my school colleagues There might even be some new tools to pick up form the tweets you’ve just seen! I hope I’ve given a bit of an insight into how we function as a team and some of the modern technologies we use to work as effectively and efficiently as we can
