Professional Learning Group, eLearning and eTools

13 July 2011 Last Updated on 13 July 2011 Shaun B

As tools and pedagogical practises evolve and change who do we rely on as Christian Educators to inform us on Best Practise? Do iPods and iPads make a difference to student achievement.

This Professional Learning Group proposes to use the passion and knowledge of people within our collective of schools to commit to meeting together, participate and provide readings and to reflect through the use of blogs about eTools and eLearning practises which we consider noteworthy. ie those which we consider will contribute to student achievement.

The group would meet together once a term, participating in and providing professional reading in eLearning and contributing to an eLearning blog in response to each reading. The objective for the professional group would be to put together a paper/presentation about effective eLearning tools and practises for Christian Schools in New Zealand. People from outside the group would be able to keep abreast of the readings and reflections...

The top 100 tools for learning - 2011

27 May 2011 Barend Blom

Life has happened . . . I have moved into a new role at my school, my family has grown, and I have taken up triathlon . . . as a consequence, blogging about the world of eLearning has been moved to the backburner. However, as we in the North American school system approach our summer holiday, I would like to blog about eLearning again. Perhaps more than just eLearning.

I have been privileged to attend the Vancouver Symposium on Christian Education for the 21st Century. It has rekindled the interest I have in the integration of technology in education, and it has broadened my definition of technology. We live in a drastically different world (as Shaun's PowerPoint shows - check it out on the eLearning home page on this website). How is the Christian school community going to respond? We want to prepare our students to be disciples of Jesus Christ, and world-changers. Is our present educational model achieving that? I plan to blog on that more later.

I came across a really cool link...

eLearning Powerpoint from NZACS

09 October 2009 Last Updated on 09 October 2009 Shaun B

Due to several requests I have just put my powerpoint from the recent NZACS conference on this website. It is quite big so I will not not be able to keep it there for ever. Please feel free to comment on it and contact me if you need any clarification.
