Learning is personal! "We teach others by teaching ourselves anew." (Garth Boomer)

Disclaimer I have a vested interest in all this waaay beyond my role as a DP in the ISER...
2009 - 2022 My daughter Lucy will commence Kindergarten in 2009 at her local state school and graduate in 2022; if all goes well.
2009 - 2022 What will her personal experience of school be like?
The future? • Will she always feel like this about school?
By the end of the session... We will have considered: 1. the concept of a 'Personal Learning Network' (PLN) 2. the web 2.0 tools that enable ISER staff to create, collaborate and connect 3. the way forward…
ISER Plan Just a reminder, this connects to our plan:
The way forward… • If every staff member in the ISER was able to use Google Reader, Delicious & Twitter with many leaders blogging, ongoing formal and informal learning could be shared • Collaboration would lead to the dispersion of new tools and ideas throughout the system • The individual would be at the centre of their learning
What if this was started by… • The RD and SEDs being connected with their principals and DPs using the tools discussed? • Senior executive sharing this their schools? • Region going 2.0 and supporting this in schools? • Our two new SDD days late in 2009 supporting staff with ‘a package’?
What is a PLE? • The concept of ‘Personal Learning Environment’ places the individual in charge of their learning • Using tools of their choice • Informal as well as formal learning important • Is constructivist and connectivist
In conclusion • Being literate, or rather multiliterate is the most important skill needed
...and in 2028 Darcy will retire; if such a concept still exists
??? what will school be like in 2022? and what kind of journey will staff take to 2022?
