ICT Mentors Workshop - Co-creating a Participatory Culture 27 June 2013

Learned a lot in the workshop from Kim McMonagel who is so passionate in sharing  and creating a virtual networked learning community

I like her idea of a Tec Bingo - I could adapt this and use it with my class - getting them to prepare themselves before the class in a fun way. Response can be collected using Google form. This is in-line with the idea of a flipped classroom – pre-workshop/pre-lesson reflection – opportunity to explore before workshop/lesson.

Explore Coaching & PLN Resources -

Play TEC B-i-n-g-o!

Exploring two to three resources in a row takes about 20-30 minutes of your time.

Earn blackout when you explore ALL the resources; it takes longer but the wealth of information will inspire a plethora of new learning opportunities. 

T	E	C
Visible Thinking Routines -support reflective practices for all learners.	Watch Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) for educators       Connected Educators	Watch Reflections on Coaching
All things PLC - designing a digital Professional Learning Community Subscribe in iTunes to the #Edchat Radio and Teacher’s Aid.	FREE SPACE	Why educators should be collaborating  - interesting article.
Instruction Coaching - Tips from Brown University	Ten Roles of Coaching	Watch How Coaching Works

Like the online stopwatch which she used to time us for the activity

Though I must say it is quite stressful getting work done in 5 mins.

I totally agree with what Kim mentioned about time to be given for reflection and to read other’s responses–  there is a need for learner processing time

e.g.  issue resources for them to read on Mon and to reflect by Wed. Link to responses given to students on Wed and then class discussion on Friday on the responses.
Deep thinking and reflection before class

 Another interesting tool - Using tagexedo to form word cloud with style -
