PD via VC using CCP. Yippee!
Now that DET’s CCP rollout is gathering momentum and is now goût du mois for the mainstreamers, I’m thinking how can teachers best utilise this flattening ICT to best effect for PD?
Darcy suggested sharing ideas on Year 7 teaming. Troy and Tony replied, “Yep, why not?”
What other action research would schools like to collaborate on via VC?
DET schools already connected have a data base of other DET VC contacts, but lets broaden the base of potential learning via VC sharing, to lets say, the rest of the world. Now that sounds web two oh 21st century to me.
Stephen Heppell presented the trend chart below over 2 years ago and it still raises many reflective questions on how learning is rapidly changing. His RSA speech is also equally valid for those yet to hear his 2016 vision.
What are the trends that we can see around the world in learning as we move further into the 21st century?
The changes below are all easily observed, but for different schools, communities, countries and cultures the movement may be more or less pronounced and the rate of progress slight or may be rather greater.
I recently asked “What did you learn at work today?”. I’m curious as to how we can better reflect on current QTL practices so they become more meaningful, not because there are dire problems. Learners should strive to integrate improvements lest we get left behind in our exponential times.
I’m up for sharing, not only through static blog pages, tweets and skypes, but via our newest toys the CCP’s.
Today teachers want, and seek, a place to exchange their insights as to what constitutes effective practice. As they move to become more reflective they also need a place to archive their action research.
The video conference component of DET NSW CCP will assist in the archiving and transference of such collective knowledge beyond the traditional school districts we work within. Modelling VC PD collaboration, that should also involve the student voice, can now happen.
Which NSW DET schools with CCP are up for it? I know Darcy and Troy will, why not join us?
