REFLECTIONS ON THE LRE CONNECTION

What have we learned so far?

Promethean

REFLECTIONS ON THE LRE CONNECTION

Promethean cannot consider the LRE project without considering the professional development of the participants

What is an effective use of an Interactive Whiteboard?

It is not a projector for content - it is a “classroom collaboration system” – discuss, share, respond to feedback, represent and rework ideas, combine

multiple source

We cannot change the nature of education with content aloneThe content must be used in new ways

Teachers must be “digital teachers” to bridge the classroom digital divide

REFLECTIONS ON THE LRE CONNECTION

People are interested in people

Teachers keep wanting to know about the author...

Do they think like me?

Is their class like mine?

Are they trying to solve the same problems as me?

How might the LRE enable that?

Copyright

Teachers have no idea!

Hard for Promethean to ask them to assert Creative Commons

This remains a key area for the sector to understand

REFLECTIONS ON THE LRE CONNECTION

Content is NOT the king in the 21st Century Digital World

Our teachers tell us that....

“Communication”, “Community”, “Context”, “Conversation” & “Ideas”

are equally important in them understanding how to use the tools effectively

Just the same as kids when they go online.... They network!
