In the 2012 Primary Sources Survey conducted by Scholastic and The Gates Foundation, teacher respondents claimed to spend only about 4% of each day collaborating with colleagues, while 44% of teachers surveyed responded that they would like that collaboration time to increase.
some of these same emerging trends in technology and teaching can help teachers connect with each other and exchange ideas and resources.
New teachers can find mentors online, people with tried and true experience to help get them through the tough dilemmas they face in the classroom. Veteran teachers can find research and new information about technology and ways to bring their practice to the next level.
Hi Guys, a good website for ICT resources, These are for 2010 but are still interesting. I think ICT one of those parts of education that needs to be done in moderation with a good pedagogical balance.
This is a website I came across on Terry Rees blog page http://terryrees.edublogs.org/ . She says one of the most important things for her is to develop a sustainable and quality Personal Learning Network (PLN) with other professionals with which she can share ideas, experiences, thoughts, and seek advice. If you are in need of resources and advice for starting a PLN this may help. Thanks Terry for putting me on to it. Hopefully others will find it useful too.
