The e-Learning Planning Framework (2)

Please see my below post so that you can see where I am at. 

It has been a tricky and challenging process. The information that I wanted to get from the shared document was limited, but at least I gave everyone a chance to look at it.


I also created a Google form for individual staff and Individual Students to answer. I did this by deleting everything except the questions for that specific group then put this in a Google Form.

I presented at a staff meeting and shared the form to all staff. Happy to share this if you are interested.

For the students I did the same thing with a poster to entice them. I let them discuss and do this in groups. I wanted them to challenge and debate certain aspects. Feel free to view the form by following the link.

The next Questions: What did all the feedback say? What am I going to do with it?

The e-Learning Planning Framework

I believe we are at a point where we need to look at where we are at and what is the next steps. You can very quickly get overwhelmed with e-learning and start running around like 'headless chocks' as my Grandad use to say, when it comes to all that e-learning has to offer. The e-learning planning Framework is going to be the answer to help create sanity and direction. This blog entry is how we will proceed with this.

Where to start?

I must mention now that everything used originated at the TKI e-learning website. 

Here you can find everything you need to create "A ‘road map’ that enables schools/teachers to identify where they are, the practical steps they can take to improve their practice, and connects them to relevant information or services to support them in doing this". 





The videos and resources are endless. Not just the tool but practical ideas for the "Where to now?" question that I can see myself asking when filling in the "Framework for Schools'. I think throughout this whole process I will keep in mind a few statements that I continually say to myself.

1. We need to take manageable steps. We want everyone on the train but we don't want to shove them in and rush to what we envision as a utopia, in a mad rush...we would not get there!
2. That the information does not just sit separate to everything else within the school, it needs to filter through all we do.

The five phases

For more information on the phases of the framework, go to:http://www.elearning.tki.org.nz/Professional-learning/e-Learning-Planning-Framework2/Phases-of-the-e-Learning-Planning-Framework

Pre-emerging WHOLE SCHOOL: You need to put in place deliberate actions to plan for or  integrate e-learning across the school.

Emerging WHOLE SCHOOL: You investigate, raise awareness and plan for growing your ability to use digital technologies for learning.

Engaging WHOLE SCHOOL: You establish and connect planning across the school; you trial initiatives.

Extending WHOLE SCHOOL: You effectively align across school, community and wider networks. The use of digital technologies is refined and appropriate to meet all learners’ needs.

Empowering WHOLE SCHOOL: Your school, community and networks work in partnerships to reflect and plan. Technology use is ubiquitous, virtual, accessible and equitable, enhancing authentic, co-constructed learning within and beyond the school community.

The first collation of information regarding where we are at in our e-learning was looking at our 'school' as a whole. 

I am going to use Google Apps throughout this process of gathering data and below is my first creation that you are most welcome to use.

I decided to create a discussion document by taking out everything from the original and leaving just the school options. This document becomes a discussion Doc that people can write on, comment on, come back and view at a later date and make changes whenever. I wanted it to be very organic. I invited some key people on the staff but also invited everyone that would be interested.

The key sentence when staff first looked at this doc was "Please indicate where you think we sit from the position you hold within the school.."
