Posted by jeremy on January 26th, 2010

The benefits for teachers of using technology to grow their personal learning networks

Posted by sarah on January 18th, 2010
The second edition of the NZEI’s new magazine for teachers in schools and kindergartens is hot off the press, and it includes an article written by Boost.
Sarah’s been asked by the NZEI to contribute a regular column on technology in education to ‘Education Aotearoa’. Around half of Boost’s work is in the education sector, so we’re really happy to get this opportunity to talk about one of our big passions: how technology can support great teaching and learning in our classrooms.
The article in this issue is about the benefits for teachers of using technology to grow their personal learning networks. It includes links to tools and resources online and five simple steps to build your personal learning network.
It’s available on the magazine’s website, where you can also leave comments and feedback. Other features and stories in this issue include new research and false claims about early childhood education and the latest on national standards. http://www.educationaotearoa.org.nz/all-stories/2009/12/6/online-networks-can-rock-your-world.html
We’re already working on the topic for the first issue of 2010, which is due out in the first week of term 2.
