Hi all, We have a group of tutors all in their second year of DTLLS training and keen to use online and digital resources so the Third Sector toolbox seems very apt.
I got the group to explore some of the tools. Their initial feedback - it looks like
Go animate
animoto
quizlet
Poll everywhere
Khan Academy
are the most useful after a first and quick look through.
The trainees will be feeding back their comments to me and their course leaders , I'll be keepings tabs on lesson learnt and where we can share any good practice internally as well as on the blog
we have some IT issues ( or so I am told ) with using tools like Box but we're keen to soldier on.
with the ones mentioned above
I am surprised that 'IT issues' haven't arisen before now! In some of the bigger organisations like Colleges and Universities with which I'm familiar even Blogger is banned and I have to get various applications 'cleared'.
ReplyDeleteWith the development of 'Bring Your Own Device' and the advance of alternative operating systems in use by staff and students, ensuring protection of networks and compliance with licence terms will see 'IT issues' continue for years to come but with increasingly imaginative ways to resolve them - including many from students themselves!
Hope you can find enough to trial without causing your colleagues too much bother.
thanks Andrew, getting things cleared is one thing that we're all familiar with - i was also using it as a euphemism in that our infrastructure and capacity is very creaky, we're waiting to move premises in the next few months when i'm sure it'll all be sorted
