In My Ele_ment

I'm fascinated by the possibilities of what we are still calling e_learning...triggered by a desire to engage learners as I am engaged. I went to a workshop a few years ago and on returning to school, the principal asked me what I thought. "Like a hog in mud," I enthused. E_learning isn't just about using digital tools. It's about developing a whole new way of learning and starting to see that we don't have to stick with current models of education. The possibilities are exciting!

Sunshining Our Learning - A Day in the Eastern Bay

Well done Jeanette Murphy - I love educators who take a risk, who say, "I have to be the change or make the change I want," not wait for "someone else to do it."

Alex Le Long and I took off last Saturday morning , to Apanui School, an hour away in Whakatane, to see that keen educators, hungry for learning, are everywhere.

Besides a Chromecast prize (wow!) I took away great ideas for learning:

I want to visit Tarawera High School to see how they run their PB4L programme, MANA. Thanks Sam Gibson and Julian Reid.
Thanks Sam Hamilton and Kat Gilbert-Tunny for inspiring me to go further with Google dashboard.
Excellent ideas from Jeanette for making this a fun day.
