Personal Learning Network and your Performance
A PLN can be a great addition to your online portfolio to support your resume or your performance review. Your PLN is personal, portable and easy to maintain. It also demonstrates your understanding and recognition of the importance of having a professional online presence as well as the technical skills required to build and maintain this online environment.
In this short video I share 7 easy ways to get started. You can choose to use one of the tools or a combination. Remember, everyone’s network will look and function differently.
If you want to find out more about learning and leading through your PLN, then join me on 25 April or 26 April. I’ve set up three difference times, so you should be able to find a time that suits you to connect in for the one hour webinar.
BYOT implications for schools
The move to have the students bring their own technology (BYOT) into the classroom is largely inevitable. The BYOT tsunami is fast coming over the horizon, with the pathfinders already having made the move.
In researching the new book on BYOT, Mal Lee has identified the implications of the development for schooling, teaching, the choice of personal technology in schools, school resourcing and your own operations.
BYOT is most assuredly not simply a technical development.
In a one hour webinar, BYOT: Understanding the inevitable and its implications, Mal will examine what is and is not BYOT, why all schools will eventually use a model of BYOT, the plethora of educational, social, organisational and economic opportunities opened by the development and the very considerable implications for your situation.
The Lewisville Independent School District video provides some insight into how BYOT has brought about change for schools in that district.
Join Mal Lee on Wednesday, 14 March 2012 for a one hour webinar, BYOT: Understanding the inevitable and its implications.
Mal is an author and educational consultant who has written a series of books for ACER Press and a myriad of articles on the impact of digital technology on the evolution of schooling, teaching and the school library. Mal currently writes the education and technology columns for The Australian Educational Leader and Education Technology Solutions.
He will build on the international research he has undertaken in preparing for the new ACER Press publication he is writing with Martin Levins on Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT).
Mal is a former school principal, director of schools and technology company director. He brings a unique holistic
perspective to educational development.
Washington Library Media Association Conference
I’ve been invited to present on “Lessons from Down Under: 7 Effective Strategies for Library Advocacy” at the WLMA Annual Conference in Spokane, WA, USA — 13 to 15 October.
The magic part is I will be staying right here at home and connecting in through my webinar environment. No long haul flights, jet lag, time away living out of a suitcase. How sweet is that?
The program has a number of webinars so you might want to check out the concurrent workshops.
My scheduled time to connect in for the presentation is on Saturday morning, 15 October, so it is a reasonable hour if you want to join in.
