This is the kind of innovative, hodge-podge training that gives teachers a taste of different tools, application ideas, and exposure but does not burn them out or make them think "this is just another thing to do." Teachers were very receptive to the structure of the training (15 minutes on educational applications of Edmodo (what you can do/how are you using it now?), 40 minutes of SMART Notebook tools (show 5 tools - here's how they work/here's when you would use them in your lesson), and 10 minutes of wireless mouse instruction (here's how to make it work/here's how you can implement it).

Brussels, June 2010: This year’s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.efquel.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=181&Itemid=117&lang=en">EFQUEL<br />
Innovation Forum</a>, the fourth in the highly successful series of<br />
European gatherings, will take place in Lisbon, Portugal in<br />
collaboration with the Catholic University of Portugal and the National<br />
Institute for Public Administration Portugal. From September 8-10, 2010,<br />
in the Palace of the former Marquises of Pombal, in Oeiras, Lisbon, and<br />
surrounded by beautiful gardens, the annual assembly of eLearning and<br />
education professionals will debate how opening education can contribute<br />
to social inclusion agendas and promote economic wellfare through<br />
better equipping citizens with necessary skills.<br/><br/>The EFQUEL
Innovation Forum is a great opportunity for action oriented<br />
participation, sharing ideas, building and enlarging networks and<br/>
exchanging visions. The atmosphere is open and dialogue-oriented.<br/>
Participants who are registering before the 30th of June 2010 are<br/>
profiting from a reduced <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.efquel.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=188&Itemid=120&lang=en">Early<br />
Bird Fee</a>. <br/><br/>Open educational resources (OER) are high on the
agenda of social and inclusion policies and supported by many<br />
stakeholders of the educational sphere. User Generated Content is more<br />
relevant than ever, and co- and peer-production increasingly at the<br />
heart of content development. At the same time assessment and quality<br />
assurance processes are put to test because long introduced expert and<br />
teacher led approaches of assessing quality seem to loose effect in view<br />
of user created content and free available resources. Opening education<br />
promotes social inclusion agendas and supports economic programs by<br />
raising participation and supporting the development of new skills. It<br />
leads away from traditional business models and frees energy for<br />
innovation.<br/>During the EFQUEL forum the delegates will produce
recommendations in interactive workshop discussions on the following<br />
topics: <br/><br/>• Open Educational Practices<br/>• User Generated Content<br/>•
Self-Evaluation and Learning Organization<br/>• Equal access to Higher
Education<br/>• Research in E-Learning<br/>Four ambassador teams will
challenge the participants to relate their debates to the four important<br />
topics around inclusion innovation and excellence: a) Enabling<br />
Participation, b) Improving Employability, c) Strengthening<br />
Intercultural Dialogue & understanding and d) Developing Skills to<br />
shape the future. Delegates are encouraged to present their own projects<br />
and initiatives in this field in form of a short case, a poster or in<br />
interactive discussions. <br/><br/>Each workshop will follow the same
rhythm in order to weave the topics together by following the central<br />
question: “How can we reach social inclusion, innovation and<br />
excellence?” During the second day, this question will be discussed in<br />
newly assembled groups and finally reflected in a roundtable discussion,<br />
representing the policy, academia and corporate sector. EFQUEL will<br />
take the important recommendations from delegates further into shaping<br />
its work agenda to contribute to a Europe of inclusion, innovation and<br />
excellence through education. Innovation and Change: Why Bother?tag:www.classroom20.com,2010-02-22:649749:Topic:4381742010-02-22T13:14:07.621ZJoe Schuchhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JoeSchuch

Hi everyone,<br />
While looking for ways to attract international attention on the importance to transform the role of educators into one that embraces learning through a real world performance, I was not able to find a ribbon that supported an educational cause.<br />

That is why I have come up with an idea: to invite any educator, designer, student, parent, sibling, mentor... in the world to create a ribbon that will represent and promote INNOVATION in education.<br />

Working Conditions and Progressive, Tech-embracing educatorstag:www.classroom20.com,2009-03-27:649749:Topic:3160292009-03-27T22:17:53.802ZJ Blackhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JBlack
What types of support/working conditions are a <b><i><u>must</u></i></b> if progressive, technology-embracing educators are to be productive, creative, innovative and committed to their profession for the long haul? Yes, it's a big question, but I find myself thinking more and more about it. What would our working conditions look like, feel like, sound like? To what degree would teachers themselves be responsible and to what degree administators?
