I hope that this programme will be a useful one for you because the idea is that by the end, you will have a better understanding of the technologies available to you and how they can support your school and students. You will also have a better feel of coaching teachers to use the technologies to realise learning outcomes and engage students.
Our first session today, Monday October 22, 2012, will be all about setting ourselves up and getting to know each other a bit more. It will also give you some ideas for using blogs in the class and how they can help students write, reflect and collaborate.
Before you start your tasks, let me introduce myself...
I am Mark Ray and I am from Barbados. I have lived and worked in the Cayman Islands since 2007 at the Department of Education Services and more recently, the Ministry of Education as the ICT Integration Specialist.
Before 2007, I worked for 7 years in the Ministry of Education in Barbados as a Programme Officer and then the Programme Director for an education reform programme called the Education Sector Enhancement Programme. Before that, I taught maths and computer science at my alma mater in Barbados, Combermere School from 1996.
