Today Computing and Business Studies teachers from Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire met together at the Erskine Bridge Hotel to learn about developments in a curriculum for excellence.
There were three sessions in the day. Bernard McLeary, the chief executive of LTS gave the keynote address highlighting the major developments and timelines for the programme.
Joyce Henderson led the second session outlining the development of broad outcomes in relation to ICT, Computing and Business Studies. Joyce was supported by Tom Liversedge and Jillian Samson who gave a very helpful insight into the actual subject areas
The afternoon session was led by David Muir to conside how teachers can utilise web 2.0 tools in learning and teaching in the context of computing and business studies. This included the use of social bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us which allow bookmarks to be shared in class. Other examples included the use of blogs and wikis in learning. I have recorded the afternoon session and will post it as soon as I edit it down.
I am very keen to get feedback on the seminar so if you were there then please let me know. I also have copies of the presentations. If you want a copy then please email me.
