In Support of Excellence
… Ronnie Max Oldham
Pedagogy can be defined as the function or work of a teacher. It includes both knowledge and practice, both art and science. We will help those wanting to teach to learn about recognised sound teaching methods. Our podcast episodes, blog posts and online courses will explore such strategies as:
Blooms Taxonomy and Learning Goals
Immersive Learning and Social Simulations
Student-centric Interactive Social Constructivism
We are committed to helping teachers find the latest and best technologies to enhance the pedagogy. We are exploring learning design and teaching practice that leads technology decision making and not the other way around based on Low Threshold Approaches (LTA’s):
Mobile Technology Apps for all platforms
Multimedia Simulation Software
Web based open source educational software
The Designing Outcomes Learning Portal is being built to be a community portal for those interested in teaching and learning both formal and informal. To provide ideas, suggestions and professional development resources to help teachers excel at their chosen vocation:
Collaborate on Action Research Projects
Showcase Innovative Examples of Best Practice
Interview and Showcase Educational Leaders
Padagogy Wheel Posters First Language Versions
The First Language Project was inspired by a tweet from an Educational Leader which said
“This connection of theory, practice, and application makes the Padagogy Wheel an invaluable resource that should be on the wall of every classroom”.
Twitter was used to request help from teachers around the world, to translate and share the message. The response was amazing. There will be at least 25 different Language Posters published by the end of 2016. Each language has a “Language Champion” who blogs and shares in their first language to help teachers get the most out of the learning model.
