A | This lesson idea relates to the issue of using technology in a school to support the professional development of staff. A free Wordpress[http://wordpress.com] hosted blog (http://whsteachingandlearning.wordpress.com) was created to provide a central location for staff members to share their experiences of using a range of teaching and learning approaches and resources, including those relating to digital literacy. A resource or an idea would be posted to the blog, with the other staff encouraged to add comments relating to the given resource. For instance, a post was added to the blog relating to the use of iPads in the classroom [http://whsteachingandlearning.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/using-ipads-in-the-classroom/]. This then gave other teachers an opportunity to share examples of their own use of the iPads across the curriculum. The blog has also been used to discuss assessment for learning materials, the use of flip cameras for assessment purposes and the use of a standardised marking policy. A drop in session was arranged to introduce staff members to the blog, as well as to allow them to discuss some of the resources available for them to use in their lessons. | ||
