Lots of interesting questions amongst the group!<br /><br />JenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962861452496575863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-28596960808431567932013-07-22T00:23:32.741-07:002013-07-22T00:23:32.741-07:00Hi Sarah

However, at St Mary's I'm trying to be a little more structured in what I do, which this course has helped with a lot.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TimThe Small Steps Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234062141900374362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-69893709222632930912013-07-22T00:21:24.897-07:002013-07-22T00:21:24.897-07:00Hi Wayne

I'm probably trying to be a little too clever incorporating de Bono's Hats; they just seemed to fit so well when I was preparing my plan. I'll have a think about how I can incorporate a justification of de Bono's thinking hats as a theory of change.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TimThe Small Steps Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234062141900374362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-84132475300356046272013-07-22T00:19:00.530-07:002013-07-22T00:19:00.530-07:00Hi Aleta

I'm a real fan of social media as a tool for schools to connect with students, families and the wider community.<br /><br />Please contact me if you want to share ideas, etc on our projects.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TimThe Small Steps Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234062141900374362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-77893769914791452102013-07-21T20:53:43.004-07:002013-07-21T20:53:43.004-07:00Hi Tim,

There seems to be far too much trial and error happening at schools in changing/adopting new technologies, and I will be interested in reading your experiences with your previous school.<br /><br />Have a great week,<br /><br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921508388419527936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-17911725089418330782013-07-21T18:59:25.267-07:002013-07-21T18:59:25.267-07:00Tim, A well structured essay plan.

Will you incorporate a justification of de Bono's thinking hats as a theory of change?

My research is based more on using FB and Wordpress for project planning and fundraising , so has a slightly different take on it but I am sure I will still come up with the similar prejudices against social media in an educational context.<br /><br />Your essay plan is extremely well laid out.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />AletaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146868021001362417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-8091445397784818742013-07-21T03:15:53.239-07:002013-07-21T03:15:53.239-07:00Thanks Aaron.

I think that it's a great connection tool for schools and their communities; you just need to focus on the positive.<br /><br />By the way; how's life in Brunei? I would love to do some teaching there at some stage, it looks like a great place for families.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TimThe Small Steps Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234062141900374362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604404762692505595.post-66291226925389041172013-07-21T00:45:39.595-07:002013-07-21T00:45:39.595-07:00Hi Tim

It is an interesting topic especially with the taboo of facebook being used (by some) as a educational tool.Taylor's in Bruneihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423022009560879214noreply@blogger.com
