Professional Development Video

There are so many things to consider when creating a video... How all of our ideas will fit together in one short 10 minutes video. How will we create this video? What resources and planning will we need to do?

We finally came up with our idea!

Our pedagogy will be Connectivism
Our content will be english and focus is on text types.
Our technology is Google Docs

Google docs it's a great way to collaborate with other people over the internet. Using google docs you can write on the same documents at the same time from any where in the world! Its amazing : ) You can save and upload documents and let other people view them. Its secure you can add people that you want to see certain documents.

Nigel and I have been talking and sharing our ideas for the assignment through google docs, it has helped us stay in touch and keep track of what each other is thinking and investigating.

Students can use this in so many ways, we are currently exploring how students can use this in the classroom. We found out that there are a number of secondary teachers that are using this in their teaching. It allows students to work on documents at home or at school and the teacher can access them at any time to see how the students are going. This really streams in with the changing of my pedagogy...

I am becoming more of a Digital Native every day : ) I feel that this is a great way to capture students from the Digital Native era.. they will be more engaged in so many lessons.

Its great for students that want to collaborate and share ideas with other class mates over assignments just like Nigel and I are doing.

We also have a new member to our group : ) Bekky

WELCOME!
