Re-Thinking Teaching and Learning


Our 'Creating A Culture of Innovation' Workshop Was a Tremendous Success

Blog entry posted March 22nd, 2010 by Robert Manning

What does it look like when technology positively impacts the daily practice of a learning community? Participants gathered together with AUSSIE/DSS consultant Sandy Scragg to explore case studies of schools that have transformed their culture by integrating shared learning and communication innovations (e.g. Google Apps) and talk about  ways to infuse Web 2.0 tools into their school. Participants walked away with a plethora of new knowledge of best practices and teaching strategies for using technology (such as voicethread, Ning, Twitter, google docs, blogging, wikis and more)  to amplify the already great things that are going on in their classrooms.

One participant commented: "I'm eager to bring all the information back to my school and share it with my co-workers.  I like the Ning idea, as well as the Voicethread website.  Thank you for sharing all these materials in an easy to follow form.”

If you attended this workshop I’d love to hear your comments and if you missed it be sure to register for our next one on April 22nd on creating a connected classroom.
