Together we learn from each other 

Dear Colleagues

Mal Lee and Glenn Finger, and a group of writers from across the world are 
currently working on a
2010 publication for ACER Press on Creating a Home-School Nexus - and The 
Development of Networked
School Communities.

It will present a vision of formal schooling that is networked and collaborative 
and removes the
'walls' of the traditional stand alone school.

It is a vision many are already - often unwittingly - working upon

The aim to prepare a highly practical publication for those wanting to use the 
digital and network
technology to create genuinely collaborative networked school communities, which do 
prepare the
young for a digital future. It is about how increasingly resource rich homes which 
have long since
normalized the use of the digital with the young can be best involved in mode of 
schooling
appropriate to a digital world and not the Industrial Age.

It is both about a vision and how it might be realized.

We are seeking to feature pathfinders - from anywhere, small or large - who have 
started creating
that nexus.

The initiatives could relate to:

.         the school's use of the kid's own digital technology in teaching

.         virtual schooling

.         parents' possibly subversive use of the Web 2.00 technologies to 'assist' 
their school
development and operation

.         'out of hours' online tutoring or library support

.         school management systems that incorporate Web 2.00 type facilities that 
allow the
students and parents to contribute to the school's development

.         school recognition of the student competencies acquired outside the 
classroom

.         government efforts to recognize financially the parent's outlay on ICT to 
educate their
children

.         using the electronic to provide more effective administration and 
communication with the
home

 

In brief we would be delighted to hear of any moves made by the school or parents 
to use the
networked world to improve the quality and appropriateness of schooling.

Simply email Mal Lee at mallee@mac.com with the details.

Kind regards

Mal Lee and Dr Glenn Finger
