This week in Christchurch, New Zealand, the education conference Ulearn, focuses on integrating new technologies to empower learning and transform leadership.Ulearn is, for many schools in NZ, thee conference to attend, for an uplifting spin re: ICT integration in education. Derek Wenmoth, and his blog presents the highlights and while grabbing a coffee before reading the entry will only see it go cold, the key points stay hot.
Of particular interest to us and our focus with Learn-Now, is keynote reference to 'Tomorrow's Schools, Yesterday's Solutions' (the battle Learn-Now has with schools), with Hattie & Oram. This followed
the Williamson & Nussebaum focus on the impact of Web2.0 technologies to enable online participation and sharing and the need to shift from a classroom metaphor to a community metaphor for the way we organise learning in the future... One could 'hear' that this could (and should) refer to teacher communities, but reassuring for Learn-Now, is that this is exactly what we deal with, for students within their schools. We are still getting it right.
Derek's actual reports
a) Hattie & Oram is here...
b) Richardson & Nussebaum-Beach is here...
