Transformation Teachers Programme

Eeek am I turning into Sue! We are currently in Question Time and there are a panel of teachers at the front and the rest of the grop are answering questions. We are currently talking about AFl and how we can use AFL within this new whizzy technology – there are some great case studies – the St Thomas More Music teacher had a great case study about how her students assessed each others raps they had created and she had filmed. Their level and depth of thinking and assessment of each others work was enhanced by the tehnology and the result was amazing. I am also thinking about how I can use it and I think Open Mind is going to be extremely useful for me.
Time constraints have also been raised – and this is something that concerns me – where do i find the time to play and develop teaching ideas? Perhaps the problem is that we are all quite excited and impatient and want to use it NOW! With BSF there will be so much more technology and so we have to start developing our confidence and levels of ICT now so we are ready when the technology comes in…… so many questions! How do we manage the leadership of this transformation? What role do we play in the school to this? How do I find the time to develop all these exciting things? Will there be the hardware to support and develop these new teaching and learning resources? Phew!!!!! over and out!
