Fostering a professional learning community in Qatar and beyond
Visiting Schools in Bangkok
My first ever blog.
Jannie K and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to Bangkok early (prior to the NESA conference) to visit two schools. International School of Bangkok (ISB) and Bangkok Patana. The purpose of these visits was to observe ISB and Patana's use of teachnology in the classroom. ISB have a laptop program and Patana do not, apart from this difference, their use and the support they receive for the technology is very similar. I am in the process of preparing a document giving more details of our observations and will post this to the Ning when it is finished, along with information I gathered at the NESA conference, on Cyber Safety, Web 2.0 tools and a couple of other presentations I attended.
One of the highlights of the trip was attending the very informative presentation by Ann Jahr.
Have a look at photos I have posted here of both schools.
