The Truth About Online Communities - ijohnpederson - 3 views

  •  
    Something we need to bear in mind in our plans for #addcym I suspect
  •  
    If it means that the 95% learn something that inproves the quality of teaching and learning then I can live with that. There might even be 'engagement creep' that will see the 5% grow.

Digital Wales Delivery Plan - 3 views

    The Assembly is welcoming comments on this document.

  •  
    Will comments be attributed? There is a lot of information in here. How is it communicated to the people and is there a role for schools at all?
  •  
    I dont think comments will be attributed - but if anyone has any firm views on the stuff in this document then now's the time to voice them. Thought the document might be of interest to all of you so that you know the direction the Assembly intends to head digitally over the next few years

    I have to say, it doesn't seem very realistic to me. The author notes that they are being ambitious but I'm not sure they appreciate HOW ambitious this is.
  •  
    Use funds for kit and sessions like TeachMeets such as OAPMeets or something PeopleMeets - not in libraries and schools but pubs and cafes - also put books etc into pubs and cafes as well - not just digital wales but learning wales! & don't use funds for glossy booklets and stuff.
  •  
    Nice ideas, but I'd question the effectiveness of putting books in pubs. No-one I know would put down a beer on a Saturday night so that they can read about photosynthesis or mitosis. Books in pubs are more likely to serve as coasters or something for people to throw when the fights break out! Or maybe I just have a poor choice of pub. ;)

    Know a few schools loosely using it or adapting. Have you seen enquiring minds? link below
  •  
    Quick look. We used Opening Minds as loose inspiration for the SMART programme at Olchfa, and I went to a couple of the conferences. Thought the students that spoke were excellent. Didn't quite fit with what we were doing, but if I was starting again, this would be my starting point I think.
  •  
    We are going to be using this from September 2011. Any advice gratefully received.
  •  
    How are you planning on using it? Happy to give you some of the feedback from our experience of SMART.
  •  
    This looks interesting but haven't quite got to grips with how it might look in the classroom. I'd be interested in any examples.

    Have a look at the videos in this series from Teachers TV, some of them used Opening Minds. http://www.teachers.tv/series/ks3-new-curriculum
