What is an idea without follow through?
At the begining of 2015 I reflected on the work that I had undertaken in 2014 in the area of technology curriculum PLD to teachers within Auckland/North area. I quickly made a evidenced based assumption that geographical location was a barrier to teachers getting together as a learning community.
As part of my learning for the year I am going to undertake an Inquiry using Timperley, Kaser & Halbert's spiral of Inquiry framework to build a sustainable online collaboration space for technology teachers.
Stage 1 = The scanning phase. To do this I thought I would ask teachers their opinions directly through a google form, compile the information to challange my assumptions and then trial some ideas.
I will share my Inquiry with you as I go through the steps, for two reasons. 1 - modeling an Inquiry in practice, 2 - To create sustainable and effective change in this area.
So please if you think I am harrassing you, be mindful that it is for a greater good and hopefully will end up being of value.
Another point of Interest is the hope that through my blog I will share stories of technology teachers and the work/inquiries that they are undertaking within their schools that will inspire and connect teachers. So if you have something you would like to share please send me an email at n.price@auckland.ac.nz
