I had occasion to hear Julia at an Auckland Conference a few years ago- she delivered a full day programme that was truly inspirational and has a lot to say about leadership. Here she has a lot to share about learning being trans-formative for teachers and children if they own it. This is of particular significance for us in our project - if there is only one or two teachers leading anything (ICT included)then the potential for it to fall over is significant. Team approaches rule! I also like her thoughts about ICT adding another way of knowing...... children express their interests and investigations in many ways if they can if our learning environment and routines timetable is conducive..
This is a great clip Ann - thanks for posting it. I will attach a link to this page to our next newsletter.
