I am writing this in haste as I want to get it on my blog before closing my laptop for the last time here at Qatar Academy. Tomorrow I leave Doha, however I have a feeling I may be back sometime in the future. But for now I am off, first to
NECC, then other travels around the USA, then home to Melbourne in Australia before going to Beijing to start a new position by the end of July.
I want to share some work a team of us here at QA have completed this week. This has taken a few months, but we are all pleased with the outcome. We agonized over the diagram....and many other parts of document. Thank you to
ISTE NETS.S for the inspiration and essential structure for the final constructs. Other acknowledgements are on the wiki, but a special thank you to
Kim Cofino and the ISB documents for
21st Century Literacy.
The
21st Century Learning wiki and
attached document, is the foundation for professional development and curriculum planning for next year.
It starts with the
Vision, talks about the
Learning, invites people to
share best practice, has detailed
Constructs for Learning that scaffold 21st century learner objectives, and shares an
interview series with educators and one student from different areas across the school as they talk about successes in their own lives and classrooms with digital learning.
I encourage you to watch the interviews, apologies for the fairly rough video work, however the message is clear, and provided by a determined collection of learners who willingly shared their highs and lows when embedding 21st century learning and Web 2.0 into what they do.
