majority of our students

11. With a laptop I could work…
anywhere…
anytime!

13. And don’t be restricted by the
walls of your classroom,
or even the fences of your school.

15. The distinct possibility that many of our
students today will be remote workers, people
working in a flexible arrangement from home,
where the lines are blurred between what is
working hours and what is downtime.

16. JUST REMEMBER

Good teaching practice is what really
matters!

17. So what does that require?
Especially with current technologies

18. Staff Professional Development
• The integration of ICT in the classroom
requires time and effort by the teacher.
• From my personal experience teachers are
neither given the time, nor the appropriate
training.
• So here are some ideas to begin your training
process.

19. Tech Brekkies
The idea is to have a quick half hour catch up on
tools, tips and tricks in Information and
Communication Technologies and good teaching
pedagogy.

20. Twenty-20
The microkeynoting of the keynote world

21. Twenty-20
The twenty-20 challenge is an idea to have
members present 5 minute keynote
presentations with the use of pictures and
minimal text and be given 20-30 seconds per
slide.

22. Speed-Geeking
Speed-Geeking is a bit like “Speed-Dating” and
involves members with a skill in a particular ICT
tool providing small group training and given
just 5 minutes to get this done.

23. In the history of
innovation, the
"revolutionary" approach often
fails, because it doesn’t take the
human factor into account.

24. This session is aimed at you, providing
ideas for an ICT toolbox

• Support
• Communication

29. What is a PLN?
PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network.
Teachers have always had learning networks.
Previously they included teachers in your
school, old workmates, a few colleagues from
University and maybe a number of presenters at
workshops (like Future Science) you had
attended. We learn from these people and we
share with them also.

30. What is a PLN?
Your PLN no longer needs to include only those
who you can physically “catch-up” with. You do
not even need to have met these people. But
these people can be all be a source for your
professional development.

33. Let’s start with twitter
• If you haven’t already sent a tweet today
maybe you could try. Share what you have
learnt or how you are feeling.
• If you haven’t got an account, it is easy to sign
up www.twitter.com

Evernote
Simplenote

I use Evernote for many of my notes due to its
easiness to sync across all my devices.

and recommend it
is the pen input software.
