Personal learning networks

Comments: none

Jaye Richards (teacher in Cathkin High School) and Ollie Bray (DHT in Musselburgh Grammar) will lead a session on how online technology forms a key part of their own professional learning.

CPDFind, now and soon

In this session, Con Morris of the National CPD Team will look at how CPDFind has developed over the last 2 years, give participants a sneak preview of the changes being made and host a discussion on its future.

A chance to improve your own Glow skills

Comments: none

We are well aware how busy life is as a CPD Network member. Here’s a chance to improve your hands-on skills in Glow with Katie Barrowman, Andrew Brown and other members of the Glow Team at LTScotland. You might even use the time to get some of those challenges done!

Sharing of practice from early CPD users of Glow

Comments: none

We want to hear from you on this one. Members of the Glow team will give you a whistlestop tour of how Scottish educators are already using Glow for their professional development. If you, or some of your colleagues do, then let us know as soon as possible and it will feature. Of course, you might be keeping it for the ‘Open Mic’ session! ;)

Open mic session (show and tell!)

Comments: 1 Comment

At last, a chance to tell the world about what you are doing in your local authority, your university, your national organisation! It can be a presentation, a visit to a website, a chat, a song and dance routine, it doesn’t matter as long as:

  • it lasts no more than 7 minutes
  • it’s about online CPD!

If we have too many on the day, we will dig out the old CPD random generator!

Updates from members of CPD Team

Comments: none

Margaret, Margaret, Sheila, Jim and Con will all contribute to a session that will update the Network on the work of the Team since our last meeting, but it won’t be the usual ‘stand-up’ routine! (Hint: the clue is in the online CPD tag-line!)

Day 1 collegiate discussion

Comments: none

We will round the (working) day off with some more collegiate time with members of your group. Take the time to reflect on what you have seen, study the contributions to the ‘Building Windmills’ professional community and let us know if you want to see changes to the Day 2 agenda. Discussion topics will also come from the floor on the day. Just add them to the discussion thread for Day 1 Collegiate discussion.

Intro and workshop session 3 – CPDReflect

Comments: none

CPDReflect, the online toolkit to help educators with the PRD process is here. Con Morris of the National CPD Team will take colleagues through a demo of the toolkit and how it can transform the PRD process and empower individual, and groups of, educators. This will be followed by a QA session and an opportunity to engage in a practical session on CPDReflect.

Thought piece + collaborative groups on CfE

Comments: none

Eddie Broadley, area adviser with LTScotland, will lead us through thinking and discussion on CfE, specifically where the ‘unit of change’ is likely to be and the implications that has for the PRD process in each of our areas.
