Focus TeacherLeaders

We pray for all those around the world who want to learn,But are denied their right to education.We pray too for those who teach, especiallyThose who work with few resources and little support.We give thanks for the knowledge, skills and understanding we haveAnd we ask your help to remember how much we have still to learn.Teach us to respect wisdom, wherever we find it.As you walked with the disciples on the road to EmmausWalk with us as we try to understand.

ALLOpen our hearts and minds to new learningEven when it challenges us to change.Give us the courage to tackle injustice andGuide us towards a new, shared future,Where everyone has the chance to learn,and all may grow in wisdom and understanding.

Lord we pray for

Stephen R Covey inUnderstanding by Design: (Wiggins and McTighe 1998)

To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination.

It means to know where you are going so that you better understand where you are now so that the

steps you take are in the right direction.

Technology initiatives have to focus on teaching and learning, not the technology, in order to be successful: "One of the enduring difficulties about technology and education is that a lot of people think about the technology first and the education later"

Web 2.0

Beyond Constructivism• Social

Constructivism Social constructivism is a variety of cognitive constructivism that emphasises the collaborative nature of learning.

Web 1.0 = TECHNOLOGY skills

Everybody creates, the learning is in the creating.

Why is “Publishing” important for education?

Blogs and Blogging

Blogs are powerful communication tools. Blogs are powerful publishing tools.

But blogging (the verb) is still much more than that to me.

Blogging, as in reading and thinking and reflecting and then writing, is connecting and learning.
