Online social networking tools have the potential to support reflective and collaborative CPD both within and across schools and local authorities.

This session will examine what’s possible, raise a number of issues and suggest ways in which using such tools can become an integrated part of your CPD approach.

This theme will explore a number of approaches to ICT CPD and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of school improvement, pedagogical change and learning for both pupils and teachers. Examples will be drawn from a number of projects that have examined the affordances provided by new technologies, and ways in which these have been used to promote personal and institutional transformation in learning.

This was filmed on behalf of Naace for the Torquay Strategic Conference.
