[...] Welcome! If you’re new here, you may want to sign up for email updates (look to your right) or subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Recently a group of teachers, including myself and organized by Chris Craft, started getting together to discuss how we can best collaborate and help teachers get their feet wet with 21st century technology in their classrooms. After much discussion via email and Skype the site is up and you can sign up to our Google Group by visiting this page on the website. Any posts I make on this website within the category ‘nextgenteachers’ (like this one) will appear at the nextgenteachers blog, along with those of other members of the group. The idea is that there’s then one place for teachers new to the whole Web 2.0 idea to go, rather than having to discover good blogs for themselves. Obviously the plan is for them to then go and discover those blogs, use RSS readers, etc., but in the beginning having somewhere to serve as a hub is a good idea, we think. [...]
Hi Doug,
This seems to be an interesting group - is there an age barrier to becoming a next gen teacher ( or is it just a case of being young at heart !!!!????) Did you catch the article about the use of Skype in Education that Stephen Manning wrote in the TES Magazine last week (5th January) about how we in our small welsh school have used skype to shrink the world in discussions with New Zealand ?
No I didn’t see that Paul - I shall have to have a look, thanks for the heads-up. And no, there is no age limit, you just need to have a passion for teaching, learning and innovation!
