Creating and Using OERs to Promote Best Practice: Difference between revisions

This lesson idea relates to the issue of using technology in a school to support the professional development of staff. A teacher from Wales school created a blog (http://whsteachingandlearning.wordpress.com) with the intention of providing a central location for other staff members to share their experiences of 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 their use of the iPads across the curriculum.
