This is a great, professional looking slideshare presentation from Mark Woolley found at Heyjudeonline.

HIT REFRESH: Leading and Blogging

Welcome to our blogging workshop today for the NSW English Teachers’ Association annual conference.  Before we commence, lets gather some data using a great online tool called Survey Monkey (only for conference delegates please). A key issue: why do you want to blog? What is your purpose? What do you want to achieve? How can you connect? Kelli […]

'The Era of Sharing'

I always enjoy listening to Mark Pesce and this talk was delivered to educators in Queensland. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.3806563&w=425&h=350&fv=] more about “The Era of Sharing“, posted with vodpod  

#CCK09 First Paper (Draft): 'Positioning' Connectivism

Context This brief, largely informal and reflective (draft) paper for the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge Online Course, is written with the intention of positioning Connectivism in context, for educational leaders intent on developing new pedagogy in Australian schools appropriate to the digital age.  It is perhaps, not what was intended for this assignment but is an accurate reflection of my perceptions of the […]

'PLN Yourself'

Last year @suewaters collected some great data on PLNs which assisted her to build this ‘PLN Yourself’ wiki. Sue’s work has helped many, including myself, to inservice colleagues and grow our networks. Please help Sue Waters to collect data on the tools that assist our PLNs.

'The Myth Of Digital Literacy'

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3565217&w=425&h=350&fv=videoRefID%3DTAWSP_Int_20091001_779626_0_00] This really is a great overview of the issues that are commonly discussed re: literacy in the digital age. It is worth 40 minutes of your time to listen while working away on something else. Thanks to @etalbert who alerted me to this video of a panel discussion posted at Six Pixels of Separation.

Augmented Reality and 'Rainbows End'

The recent flurry of activity regarding Augmented Reality makes me reflect on how much I liked the ideas in Vernor Vinge’s sci-fi novel, Rainbows End (2006). The characters ‘wear’ the internet and can effectively be online constantly, with no visible apparatus attached to their bodies. ‘Wearing’ allows one to have a completely haptic experience. It is particularly amusing that Robert Gu, […]

Risk, Fear and Paranoia: Perspective, People!

“If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” Source This short talk explores the heart of the matter of change, for us, working as learning professionals, as we attempt to enjoy the benefits of technology happily. I suggest you take particular note of the ‘three pillars’ Stilgherrian recounts. I agree that this outlook is of fundamental […]

Reflections on the NSW Deputy Principals' Annual Conference '09

I have been critical of the last couple of DP conferences but found this year’s event in the Hunter Valley a much more satisfying experience.  The venue and facilities were spacious, salubrious and the wireless connectivity good. The mood was very positive in all respects. The keynotes were mostly excellent but what made a difference, […]

A Visual Representation of Bloom's Taxonomic Hierarchy

Mike Fisher created this visual representation of Bloom’s taxonomy as a discussion starter. What tools do you use? Which should be investigated? I’ve never tried VoiceThread even though I have had the opportunity to do so several times. I am uncertain as to why it did not capture my imagination; many of the other tools […]

THINKING GLOBALLY, DELIVERING LOCALLY

This is my PowerPoint from today’s video conference, THINKING GLOBALLY, DELIVERING LOCALLY, organised by the Macquarie ICT Innovations Centre and the NSW DET:     Thanks to Anne-Maree Moore for her friendly guidance and warm support. I look forward to John Larkin’s presentation tomorrow.

PLNs and PLEs

Last year I started asking around, on Twitter, for the origin of the acronyms that I was reading so much about. ‘Personal Learning Networks’ (PLNs) and ‘Personal Learning Environments’ (PLEs) were so often used by the educators that I was following that it was surprising no-one really could source them. Recently, I have had more […]

Twouble with Twitters
