One School of Thought

I have been fortunate to be a part of a PL Project over the last 12 months or so, involving a group of schools in Queensland, ISQ and

Heulab Pty Ltd.

Under the auspices of and funded in part by the Quality Teacher Project we have been investigating

• the use of Tablet PCs,
• classroom use of Heulab’s excellent and innovative software
• Learning by Design
• LAMS – the Learning Activity Management System from Macquarie University

And now for the final session I’m looking at the use of various web 2.0 tools and the development of personal learning networks in the hope that the group will remain together in a virtual forum and continue to assist each other.

Throughout this series of events, I’ve borrowed heavily from my RSS Feeds, and that’s one of the main points I’ll be trying to get across next week…… I just wish I could remember where I got some of the materials from! I will get more organised now that I have Diigo on my toolbar.

Coincidentally, I noticed that Miguel at Around the Corner was doing exactly the same thing with Pageflakes as I was……. my effort can be seen here and it’s also embedded in my overall presentation on wikispaces.

I am intending to use Diigo as the basis for continued collaboration. We’ll all sign up, start up a group, create some lists of relevant topics, and share our bookmarks. Should be a piece of cake to keep these people talking after the event ……. but I’ve thought that before!!
