Calling all teachers–I need you!

If you are a teacher, no matter what age range you teach or where you teach but if you have an interest in using webcams in your lessons for video conferencing or for instant messaging using tools such as Skype or Windows Live Messenger then I really would like to hear from you.

I am looking for teachers to join an online closed community on Facebook over the next few months.

This group has been created to invite practitioners to discuss the use and access to synchronous interactions through using tools such as Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Webcams and chat rooms etc.

The project starts from the premise that the culture of blindly ‘locking and blocking’ in the classroom is no longer acceptable:

The aim of the "cloudlearn" research project is to source, collate, reflect on and publish proven effective practice from experienced classroom teachers and practitioners – building from what worked for them, in their cultural and educational context, to offer a portfolio of general and proven approaches.

Over the next few months we will discuss as a group our thoughts and views on this and share the successes of such tools and the impact on the learning in the classroom and the challenges using that teachers and students face in using this type of technology.

For more general information on this project visit: http://www.cloudlearn.net/

If you would like to take part then please contact me by email: chickensaltash@live.co.uk or via twitter @chickensaltash as soon as possible, there is a limit to how many teachers can take part so it will be first come first served.
