Learning Goggles. The term ‘Learning Goggles’ is one I use frequently to describe how it is possible to learn from everything and anything. You’ll have noticed on the main blog page that this is what Full On Learning is all about. So whether it is listening to a business-guru describing the best way to motivate a team, stumbling across a new way to explain research into how the brain changes as we grow up or looking at the way in which the London Underground is designed, there’s always ideas and insights that we can use to design learning. Being curious about the world means that we’ve always got our Learning Goggles firmly secured. This page is dedicated to resources, think-pieces and ideas that you may find helpful as you develop all aspects of learning in your school. By looking at the world through Learning Goggles, we can see just how many amazing learning opportunities exist all around us, in what we are already doing and what may, on first sight, seem completely unrelated. 1.
Expedition G&T 2. 3. About the network. Why I’m trying to make myself redundant. (cc-by-nc-sa Kaptain Kobold @ Flickr) A week tomorrow The Northumberland Church of England Academy opens its doors to students for the first time. As you’re probably aware by now, my role there is Director of E-Learning. I want to be in a position within three years whereby I’ve made myself redundant.
I’ve had the same conversation with a number of people. It usually centres around two basic questions: What will you be doing as Director of E-Learning? What’s the next step after this position? The answer to the first should be easy, but it’s not. . – providing for ‘anytime, anywhere’ learning. – ensuring accurate and up-to-date information flows freely between relevant parties to enable Academy spaces to be conducive to learning. – allowing for every member of the Academy to be (potentially) accessible both synchronously and asynchronously at any time. – promoting best practices, workflows and – of course – Open Source Software .
