Comments on: Eight Factors for Effective PD http://betch.edublogs.org/2007/06/11/eight-factors-for-effective-pd/ education + technology + ideas Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:47:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Robert http://betch.edublogs.org/2007/06/11/eight-factors-for-effective-pd/#comment-520 Robert Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:43:57 +0000 http://betch.edublogs.org/2007/06/11/eight-factors-for-effective-pd/#comment-520 I have to agree with you Chris (and with Bryn, obviously!). In our system we've talked in Learning Technology for a long time about "just-in-time" learning. We'd once used the ICDL (International Computer Driver's Licence), but since it didn't meet an immediate need, a lot was forgotten - a bit like a lot of my high school maths! At our school this year, I've offered Learning 2.0, a PD program based on the original from a library system in the US. The thing that's made it good so far is that we've managed to incorporate many of the 8 factors. We're still getting there on the 4 computers, though.

It was a good look as it went down the trough on this side and into the bottle on the other. I always found it amusing because as a boy growing up in Derbyshire, I remember the old men in the pub urinal saying "Eebygum - you don't buy it duyu- yer just rent it!" New boutique brewery "The Mad Monk" opening soon ready for your next trip west. Sadly the bottling plant at Little Creatures is no longer just the other side of the urinal window.
