Educational Technology - Wave of our Future

Anybody home?

2006-10-14T10:04:00.000-04:00

I was also wondering about graduation...

Are we not all fit to walk on the hallowed UWI aisles along with our undergrad and post grad colleagues? Hmmm....

I'm still waiting for all the wonderful equipment that SEMP has promised. I hope it arrives soon.

Hope everyone is well....

Graduation

2006-10-12T06:52:00.000-04:00

Hi folks:

I guess graduation is coming up soon, but I gather we would not be crossing the stage or shaking anyone's hand or being taped live on television. I did not get a package for the graduands, did anyonelse?

We need to talk to Paddington to get an answer as to why we were not included on the list.

By the way, how are we using the technology in our schools? Is equipment available yet? Did anyone see the list of computer equipment that schools are supposed to receive? Very extensive, but the question is when are we actually going to get the equipment and how is administration going to handle its distribution and administration. Waiting to finally see laptops in government schools.

Let me hear your thoughts folks and let's keep the site alive.

Hey

Hello all. We had quite a productive meeting last week. A committee was formed to work out some issues re: establishing the organisation. Patricia took notes , if you need more detail she will be willing to provide same. The idea is to use this blogsite to communicate with each other.
We are collecting $30.00 per person in order to give gifts of appreciation to all those who were helpful to us on the course. If you were not there, someone will contact you, or call me at any of my numbers. The deadline is the 6th July. We hope to do our presentations on the 26th. when we hope you would all attend the meeting.
I know now is a busy time for teachers, but it will soon end.

Later, bye bye
Angela

Up and Running

2006-06-25T01:25:00.000-04:00

Glad to see that people are actually taking this "Ed. Tech. Organisation" seriously and that we are well on our way to it becoming a reality. I truly hope the 'energy' remains and we explore this opportunity to it's fullest potential.

EdTech Body

2006-06-24T08:18:00.000-04:00

By now most of us are excited about creating an arganisation that will have a positive influence on the Ministry of Education and ultimately on our schools. We need the following items for our organising body from you:

an official name
a logo
a name for our official website

Additionally at the meeting it was suggested that we share our teaching tools created for the practicum. This could be burnt on a CD or DVD where applicable and given to either Ayana at the UWI office or to Angela Iloo. This is towards building a bank of exciting teaching material for all our subject areas.

Hoping to see many of our award winning productions.

great idea

2006-06-23T23:53:00.000-04:00

I think this is a great idea. Sorry I missed the meeting. I was out of the country but I definitely want to be a part of this. Is any school entering the Movie Towne short film competition?

Yep

2006-06-23T18:30:00.000-04:00

So tell me what's the latest since the meeting. Who's collecting what, where and when? Wasn't paying attention of course!

First Meeting

2006-06-23T15:46:00.000-04:00

Thursday 22nd July was the first meeting organised to develop an Educational Technology body.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 26th July 2006 at 9:30 a.m. in the Computer lab, at School of Education, the venue of our first meeting.

Hoping to see all of us at the next meeting and looking forward to read our postings on what we hope to achieve through the Ed Tech body for the infusion of Educational Technology in the curriculum.

Michelle.

Podcasting

2005-10-27T10:26:00.000-04:00

I really enjoyed my time in Podcasting Class with Georgia Popplewell. She opened up a whole new world of interaction for me which can be used to develop a working past student's association for my High School.

The students will be very interested in developing their own website, which can be used to develop closer links with the school's immediate community and the wider Trinbago society and also regionally and internationally.Podcasting is a great way to have our students on the Student Councils project their VOICES TO THE WORLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
