Wikieductor workshop

I first learned about Wikieductor at a Commonwealth of Learning conference I attended in 2008.

The following information from the Commonwealth of Learning about the above free workshop will be of interest who have been following the Open Education Resource initiative. I’ve found Wikieductor to be a useful tool, particularly for Computer Studies. I believe it also has an application for math essential skills.

“WikiEducator Gives Back” online workshop, July-August 2010
———————————————————–
21 July – 4 August 2010

“WikiEducator Gives Back” is a unique opportunity to interact with some of WikiEducator’s most seasoned and experienced facilitators and editors. This free wiki workshop is presented online over 10 working days and requires approximately 15-20 minutes per day. The course is presented asynchronously – so you can work at times which fit your own schedule. Join educators around the world who are returning to the core values of sharing knowledge freely.

“WikiEducator Gives Back” is part of the Learning4Content project, which is the world’s largest attempt to build wiki skills for education. It is administered by the OER Foundation, an independent non-profit organisation helping individuals and organisations to achieve their objectives using open education approaches.

Songhees Meeting

On May 5, 2010 those of us teaching at Songhees this last term met with staff members to discuss partnership plans for the fall term.

We heard a need expressed for career preparation for Songhees members. Many are looking for jobs over the spring and summer. Some find they lack the essential skills required, even for entry level positions.

My schedule development proposal for 2010-11 fits in with these expressed needs. See  SD Proposal Form 2010-11 MartinRevised.
