Slides for a session at RSCON 2014
This session will be about how you could get virtually free PD by travelling to another EU country to take part in a course or other activity such as work-shadowing.
January 2014 marked the start of a new 7 year EU programme to enable educational professionals to attend courses and other PD events across Europe. The new Erasmus+ programme is very different to its predecessor up to 2013 and I will go through some of these new features and how they might benefit you and your organisation. In particular I want to highlight:
The increase in funding available
The widened access (not just teachers are eligible)
The strategic approach
This session will not concentrate on the technical aspects of applying for funding but on the changed mindset that this new funding stream represents and how this could benefit you as an individual teacher and your organisation.

This document outlines the 5 habits of successful ICT integration: 1) Favor the simple by using online tools that don't require registration, 2) Communicate through blogs, wikis, images, videos, podcasts, chat, and online communities, 3) Register to share and collaborate on sites, 4) Remix content by creating personal pages, bookmarking, and making student publications, and 5) Take care of issues like spam, ads, privacy, spam comments, time consumption, and plagagism. It provides examples of tools for each habit and encourages favoring simple tools first before registering.
Distributed CCeD is a process potentially useful for the development of projects for large numbers of students who are widely spread geographically.
ConCurrent eDesign is an approach to planning from the engineering world which has been transferred to the task of developing student projects. The idea originated when NASA needed to save money and shorten planning time. It has now been adapted to the planning of digital pedagogical projects.
In my session I will present a broad outline of the process which basically revolves around 'if you are not in the room then you are not part of the process'. This means that all relevant decision-makers and stakeholders should be part of the process so that it can move on quickly. When challenges are identified, the relevant person can be consulted, the challenge resolved and so the process can move on.
This process has been tried and tested by the Technical University College of Trondheim with companies such as the major telecoms company Telenor and the the Statoil petroleum company. In these cases the facilitators from the university worked in the same room with the key people in the target organisation.
The UnderstandIT project, supported financially by the European Union under their Leonardo program, is now testing out a distributed version of CCeD. This means that the development process is carried out online instead of physically in the same room. In UnderstandIT we are looking at what is needed to transfer this proven approach online.
I will describe the case study that we used in the project to test out this process. Preliminary results show that it is perfectly feasible to produce a project design document through a process which happens completely online with developers in Portugal, Italy, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark and Norway. One of the key outcomes of this case study was that we were able to adapt the project to fit the local contexts and importantly, the cultural differences in each of the four stations where the project would run, so that we did not end up with a one size fits all solution but instead an adaptable template. This has beneficial implications for groups wishing to develop digital projects across large distances where it is simply not practical to meet physically for the four or five intensive meeting sessions needed for the CCeD process.

This document discusses developing a sustainable mindset. It defines a mindset as a set of beliefs, attitudes, and expectations that are accompanied by habitual feelings and emotions. A growth mindset recognizes that one has a choice in how they think and can respond with more sustainable thinking. Developing a sustainability mindset involves recognizing problematic default thinking, choosing more mindful thinking, and acting in sustainable ways. The document suggests planning learning with sustainability competencies and case studies to facilitate developing sustainable mindsets through critical thinking.

Using and creating case studies is an important strategy of the Prof E Sus project that is developing training for teachers of vocational hospitality skills.

The power of case studies in promoting a sustainable mindsetAnne Fox
Using and creating case studies is an important strategy of the Prof E Sus project that is developing training for teachers of vocational hospitality skills.
This document outlines a training program for developing a culture of sustainability in vocational education. The program includes 4 modules that blend residential and online learning over 10 months. Module 1 involves a week in Finland to form study groups and learn about sustainability in guest-oriented vocational education. Module 2 involves 6 weeks of online peer-supported learning about sustainability. Module 3 involves 8 weeks of online peer-supported planning and implementing an action research project. Module 4 involves a week in Austria to exchange best practices and plan for the future. The goal is to help educators develop skills like futures thinking and systems thinking to incorporate sustainability into their teaching practices.
This document discusses culturally responsive training and provides tools for its implementation. It begins by defining culturally responsive teaching as creating an environment where diverse groups feel comfortable, welcome and valued. It then presents five tools for culturally responsive training: 1) Wlodkowski's motivational framework, 2) participation guidelines, 3) communication strategies, 4) cooperative learning, and 5) observation guides. The document advocates applying these tools to respect different cultures while building a common learning culture.
This document discusses culturally responsive teaching (CRT) strategies for adult education classrooms. It defines CRT as leveraging students' cultures to accelerate learning in any subject. The document recommends establishing inclusion, developing student attitudes, enhancing meaning, and engendering competence based on the Wlodkowski framework. Specific in-classroom CRT strategies are presented, such as using mixed language/culture groupings, learning about students' cultures, and including lessons on anti-immigrant bias. CRT is said to emphasize cultural learning styles over superficial representations and to highlight personalized, collaborative, and explicit cognitive approaches.
Blogging for culturally responsive teaching Anne Fox
The document discusses culturally responsive teaching (CRT), which establishes inclusion, develops attitude, and enhances meaning to engender competence in students. It notes the importance of CRT given trends like globalization and migration. To practice CRT, teachers should be aware of and tolerant of ambiguity in their classrooms, use diverse content and cooperative learning techniques, and work with colleagues to support CRT at an institutional level. The document provides resources on CRT and information on how to contact the author or sign up for related programs.
The document discusses the potential for online intercultural training. It notes there is huge variation in current online offerings and an underutilization of the online medium's capabilities. Participants who had taken online intercultural training courses felt more confident in their skills and enjoyed interacting with peers. However, the document argues that online training should not simply consist of content delivery and testing, but should incorporate interactive activities, synchronous and asynchronous communication, and debriefing to be effective. A variety of tools and activity examples are presented for developing online intercultural training.
This document proposes a project to create an interactive digital textbook called Lingua2Go to teach language skills to older adults. The textbook would be available as an iBook or mobile app with support in 4 languages. It would include features like audio, glossary items, images, and annotations. The project would involve testing how older adults use such a textbook, adapting existing materials, and producing support materials in multiple languages. Partners in Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and the UK would create a 10-chapter textbook, provide guidance for teachers, and pilot the textbook in their countries.
This document discusses WebQuests, an educational framework where students complete online research tasks to answer a question or solve a problem. It provides examples of WebQuests on topics like fairy tales and the African food crisis. The document examines attributes of effective WebQuests, including instructional value in promoting language skills. It notes a shift from early WebQuest 1.0 models to more open-ended, authentic WebQuest 2.0 designs. In conclusions, it finds value in WebQuests for promoting authentic learning but also flexibility beyond strict checklists. WebQuests could be used for workplace learning when broadened as challenge-based learning.
The History Game: Taking the classroom outdoors with mobile devices
The main aim of the session is to stimulate participants to think about how to use the outdoor space more creatively for language activities. In this session I will show the case study of how 6th graders could explore the history of their local area by turning it into a game. After finding out some significant events, the students make a simple game to guide players from one place in the historical story to another by the use of short texts, images, audio or video. These are then uploaded to a free tool which players access when they want to play the game. This activity could be extended to all sorts of different themes such as a sight-seeing tour or a detective mystery game. The activity is not restricted to the use of one tool; there are several free tools available which can do a similar job.
