PLN- thought you could become part of a wider network of teachers and educators

This site is Australian and really switched on. It has a newsletter that keeps teachers current with latest education info, has resources that are fantastic (like cool Bloom's stickers, teacher diary and so on). I've been subscribed to them for years and have benefitted so sharing my toolbelt.

My favourite line from the journal article: The metacognitive approach to ICT learning, which was developed initially as an approach to pre-service teacher education (Phelps & Ellis, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c), is founded on the premise that adoption and integration of ICT by teachers is influenced by their attitudes, beliefs, motivation, confidence and learning strategies (Higgins & Mosley, 2001; Rudd, 2001).

An online site where teachers share a range of different resources including multimedia resources, lesson plans and up to entire courses. These are increasingly called Open Education Resources (OERs).

Interesting article from a pre-service physical education teacher and their experience with pedagogical content knowledge, technology integration, self-efficacy and instructional technology outcomes.

A great blog focused on 21st century learners and the importance of ICT. Does anyone have experience using Education Perfect? I have heard this is also a great resource for teachers.

I sometimes hear that the classroom of today looks and functions much like the classroom of the 19th century-desks lined up in neat rows, facing the central authority of the teacher and a chalkboard (or, for a contemporary twist, a whiteboard or screen.) Is this model, born of the industrial age, the best way to meet the educational challenges of the future?  What do we see as the college classroom of the future: a studio? a reconfigurable space with flexible seating and no center stage? virtual collaborative spaces, with learners connected via their own devices?
