Smile FORUM: BYOD Pedagogy: 26 August - 26 September

imageUbiquitous learning means learning anywhere, anytime, using any device. Personalising learning means individualising learning pathways. As more and more schools trial or implement BYOD, we invite you to join us in this kōrero as we unpack pedagogical approaches and explore relevant mobile activities in learning scenarios across the pan sector. This forum discussion is now live the Enabling e-Learning | Leadership group. Join us as we unpack the 'why' of BYOD.

Looking forward to ‘seeing you online’ this term - hei konā mai,

Karen, Tessa & Catriona |  Blended e-Learning Online Team

 

Badge for e-Member of the Week

This week we honour and thank Tim Gander and Madeline Campbell for their on-going support and contributions to quality learning conversations, both in discussions and live events.

As a teacher of physical education at Gisborne Boys High School, Tim is passionate about utilising e-learning in his programmes and has volunteered to share his expertise in Enabling e-Learning's LIVE events. Madeline (TIC Visual Arts, Photography & Art History; Specialist Classroom Teacher; Induction & Mentoring Coordinator; and GATE Coordinator, Westland High School in Hokitika) is notably engaging in the VLN, which is no surprise as her studies into eMentorship, eLeadership and knowledge building communities, reflects this passion of hers.

Each fortnight, we like to say thank you by nominating a community member for active participation in the Enabling e-Learning / VLN Groups. Look out for these announcements in the coming weeks.
