TLLP sharing

Our TLLP sharing has been a journey on its own! Although we initially envisioned your "traditional workshop", our sharing has transformed into Twitter chats, GoToMeeting webinars, EdCamps, GAFE break-out sessions and mentorship. Multi-faceted sharing has allowed us to access educators across boards and nations, making connections and greatly multiplying the effects of the project. #ICANyet embrace 21C sharing! Can you?

GAFE and digital portfolios: learning and sharing

As our board recently launched #GAFE (Google apps for education), we were thrilled to be able to share our learning and work at a recent TCDSB21C Google Innovator workshop. Our break-out session participants were awesome: fully engaged with a wide range of experiences to share. The link to our preso is below for your reference. We presented the basics of What is a Google app?, Explored the Chrome Store as well as a few of our favourite apps for educators. Our TLLP sharing extended to demonstrating how to use Google docs, forms, sheets and slides in curating and presenting student-driven e-portfolios. #ICANyet use Google apps, can you?

Here's the link to our presentation.

Student-led conferences TLLP #ICANyet

As part of our TLLP journey, we are exploring student-led conferences and digital portfolios with a focus on growth mindset and self-regulation.

In the process of our action-research, we gained valuable insight into ways in which to link technology to portfolios, with a focused effort on developing both personal and classroom climates of appreciation for individual growth, goal-setting and thoughtful self-reflection.

We've also learned to better support our students to demonstrate a strong sense of pride, responsibility and empowerment over their learning. As educators, we too continue to develop as life-long learners and leaders as we create and share our own professional portfolios, reflecting on our growth, weaknesses and learning acquired throughout the TLLP project. We have been actively researching how to assign work that matters, examples of excellence and how to build a culture of critique that requires multiple revisions and provides opportunities for public presentations.

We'd love to connect! Please also collaborate with us through our TLLP hashtag #ICANyet

Inspiring Colleagues

Inspiring Colleagues to take the path of Student Led Conferences and Digital Portfolios

One of the three goals for the TLLP projects is to facilitate the sharing of exemplary practices with others for the broader benefit of Ontario's students.

I have always wanted to be part of a school that conducts Student Led Conferences from Kindergarten to Grade 8 (still on the bucket list). This professional goal has always been a driving force for many exemplary practise awards that I have received with colleagues over the years of my teaching career.

It is a pleasure to post the successes of my colleagues who have ventured into the world of Student Led Conferences.

Enjoy the read...
