engage - transforming teaching and learning through technology
For educational purposes, a podcast could be:
* course audio files, e.g. bird calls or heart sounds
* mini lessons with audio and visuals, eg., glossaries with sound and images, slides with voice-over explanations
* audio or video case studies containing interview with experts or other speakers
* multimedia presentations created by students
Zac has just pointed out that we can get unmetered downloads from the ABC site. Pretty neat considering the plethora of topics and formats they have available. Seems to be more and more every week.

In a post about mobile workforces, this quote caught my eye:
“Creativity is no longer about which companies have the most visionary executives, but which have the most compelling architecture of participation. That is, which companies make it easy, interesting and rewarding for a wide range of contributors to offer ideas, solve problems and improve products” - Tim O’Reilly, O’Reilly Media
How do I foster this environment in my direct teams?
This week’s action (only 3 days left but anyhow…)
gather several, and then select two ‘problems’ for consideration and action. Place on agenda for team meeting next week.
This could be a really useful presentation when working with teams to set the scene about apprenticeships - I’m thinking the teacher induction program and also when we are working with teams coming to grips with apprenticeships properly for the first time.
from the DEST website
“New Staff Induction Presentation - UPDATED
This presentation aims to provide AACs and RTOs with a resource to assist in the induction of new staff. The presentation contains a broad overview of Australian Apprenticeships and related subjects.”
