Re: ELP C3: PD First Steps

Hi all,

Owen and Mark have confirmed that MMR has Firefox browsers. The OS and browser menu are in Japanese, so everyone will need to work with that. Google works with no problem.

Dear C3ers,

I would like to offer a few starting points for discussion regarding the first PD session:

1. ELPC3ers need to model the Create-Share-Republish work flow in their daily practice. This is not established in our own group as yet.

2. Start with a small group of strategically placed individuals (not whole ELP) e.g. Coordinators, ELP Office.

3. Develop a USB drive hosted Personal Work Environment (PWE) with each participant

4. Work through simple teacher-tasks to complete the Create-Share-Republish cycle, integrating Gmail, GCal, GDS, Delicious, Blog, & GReader.

5. ELP Roll Out: Each attendee will teach one other person in the ELP. Each new trainee teaches another staff member. ELPC3 members will also teach 5 other teachers over the semester (PWEs useful here). Make a GDS form to track live who has taught who. Goal is to teach face-to-face everyone in the ELP at their personal machines at a time convenient to them before start of Term Two.

6. Scheduled whole(?) ELP PD sessions to consolidate understanding. skills, and individual work flow practices. Connect to 'new' program-level curriculum & course development cycles.

7. Coordinators facilitate sharing of course materials via GDS via Delicious to course homepages. Teaching assistants may be co-opted to help. Aim for all materials to be online before start of AY 2009.

Let's here what you think, over to you.

Regards,

Owen
