Online Conference for Educators
Time4Online is an online conference for educators, posing the question "How can we prepare students for the 21st Century?", aiming to explore examples of collaborative online learning and the application of Web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning.
Presenters include educators and students from NZ and overseas (including Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, international guest and keynote speaker at the recent TUANZ tour of New Zealand).
I'm pleased to be associated with this conference, and will be presenting a session titled "Educators as Professional Learners" in which we'll be discussing the need for educators to be reflective and life-long learners, engaging in professional discourse etc. - and how technology, in particular, Web2.0 technologies, can create opportunities for this to happen.
I've prepared this introductory slide-show that I've uploaded to SlideShare:
