The Ministry of Education’s Connected Learning Advisory is committed to supporting schools and clusters as they plan for, manage and use digital technologies for learning. This month we look at how the advisory can support new Communities of Learning.
As Communities of Learning are set up, the Connected Learning Advisory can provide advice and support around integrating digital technologies in students’ learning journeys, as well as wider support so the community can operate efficiently through the use of technologies.
Through both online and face-to-face ‘light-touch’ mentoring, the advisory can guide community leaders to make appropriate decisions in relation to using digital technologies.
The advisory is supporting hundreds of schools as they make strategic decisions related to learning with digital technologies.
If your Community or school has a query about integrating technology with teaching and learning, or you want to suggest a topic for this column, contact the Connected Learning Advisory on:
