Personal Learning Networks, the ASCD News and email alerts
My personal Learning network is really important to me. I’ve spoken about what I think makes up a personal learning network a number of times before and will be doing so again at the Scottish Leadership Summer School at the end of July.
In terms of ICT there are a number of ways to stay connected such as RSS, Twitter and blogs. But there are also some other more traditional ICT tools to keep you in the loop and stay connected with Scottish and global education. One example of this is email alerts.
I’ve been recommending for years that people subscribe to the Learning and Teaching Scotland email alerts that interest them – you can find a complete list here. There is everything from Literacy and Numeracy to GLOW and even a daily (or weekly) news bulletin.
One of the other education email bulletins
that I subscribe to is the ASCD worldwide edition Smartbrief on learning,
teaching and leading in education. It really is fantastic, you learn lots of
other things about what’s going on elsewhere in the world about education and
its great to see so many Scottish success stories appearing.
You can sign up to the ASCD email bulletin here: http://www.smartbrief.com/ascdww/ It’s free any you get an up-date email twice a week. Definitely a must for anyone completing their Scottish Qualification for Headship or other academic course.
