questions for teachers

  • Could you provide a brief description of the case study, including your and your pupils' context - age, stage, curriculum area, resources you have access to/ resources you need
  • What would you like to learn from other teachers/partners involved in the project? what can you offer to others?
  • What has been most rewarding/challenging so far in putting together the case study?
  • What is on your wish list – that is, what are the things you would like to incorporate into your case study if you had unlimited resources and time?
  • What are your dissemination plans (each of the schools has been allocated £1000 to disseminate the outcomes of their participation in the project)?
  • Do you foresee any challenges related to e-safeguarding in the context of your case study?

 

 

Following on from my thoughts yesterday, I’ve been thinking about how this OER can offer something  distinctive in relation to supporting teachers/teacher educators/student-teachers in thinking about digital literacies...

For me, as a teacher educator, I’m looking for frameworks or perspectives that are going to encourage my students to think beyond existing curriculum frameworks and think differently about pedagogical possibilities.

So, I wondered if it might be useful to draw out the themes that seemed to cut across the case studies. Here are some themes- not intended as comprehensive. I’ve used examples to illustrate but they cut across all.

-          identities: how are we positioned in educational contexts, who are we & how do we relate to others...and who might we be and how might we relate with others , e.g. Jacks’ work , Jo’s instructional videos

-          communities and/or networks: what kinds of connections and relationships do we make? e.g. communities of teachers at Mundella & Wales; Chris’s attempts to use blogging to develop relationships across classes and between home and school; Jo’s instructional videos

-          locations: how do we make/change places and how does our relationship with places shift through engagement with new technologies? e.g.Rob’s work in the park, the Magna project, Chris & Camp Cardboard, Peter’s jungle hunt

-          purposes: what are teachers’ purposes? And children’s? And other partners’, e.g. the museum? What happens as these different purposes intersect? (How) did these purposes change?

Could such themes  help provide some structure to the case studies...or to the OER? Or at least help us think about the data we may need to capture depth in the case studies as well as breadth?

Of course there are other dimensions of each case study that are important too, i.e. things we discussed  yesterday, around:

-          context (curriculum as well as local factors)

-          journeys- where have they come from, how did they get here, where are they going next

-          getting stuff done (all the tecchie stuff as well as working with colleagues, dealing with the local and national policy context)
