Weblogg-ed » Continual, Collaborative, on the Job Learning – Annotated
-
It’s difficult to understand the impact that online learning networks and communities can bring (and their potential downsides) without being a part of them
- This is one of the reasons it is hard to implement large scale change in this area and why I believe in working with small groups of teachers to slowly build awareness and interest in developing networks. Networking with colleagues that we know is a little less intimidating than sharing our thoughts with the whole world, at least for those unfamiliar with any use of the computer for socializing. – post by rowanb

Wow, our teachers are going to need a lot more ‘training.’”
- I don’t like the term “training” either. I also don’t think this model of continual, collaborative learning should be limited to technology skills. I have long believed that whatever technology training we do shoud be consistent with overall professional development goals of our school, and I believe that we should be expected to be “lifelong learners” in much more than just technology tools. – post by rowanb

The challenge is, of course, that “continual, collaborative, on the job” learning isn’t very convenient for professional developers or for teachers in classrooms. It means re-thinking what learning looks like, and that’s a scary place still for most in education.
