DFI Day #9 Revision

There's that fabulous word - Ubiquity. If you look it up in the dictionary it says: the fact of appearing everywhere or of being very common. An example of this is that we talk about smart phone being ubiquitous. So what does it mean with devices in schools?

Anytime
Anywhere
Any pace

and from Anyone

Did you notice that any place has now become any pace? 

Any pace. Learning needs to be accessible to all learners across the spectrum of learning abilities. This is why we push Google Sites as they offer this. Teachers need to take the glass ceiling off learning.

The question was asked in this session of DFI - What will you be taking forward into the 'new era' of schooling? I really want to emphasise the importance of any pace.

Why do we have learners sitting around in class waiting for instructions or waiting for the teacher to hand out the learning. A Google Site can deliver instructions and all resources needed for learning efficiently and effectively. If all this is accessible for learners then teachers can then teach!

The learners can access the learning and work at their own pace. If they need to review material or instructions these should be visible on the site. If they work quickly and can be accelerated then the site can provide this. This provides learning for all learners across that wide spectrum of abilities.
