laws & sausages

I’m at a TACIT PD session and we are developing exemplars for the ICT curriculum support document.  As is always the case with anything run by the ICT instructional leaders, the day has been an excellent one: well-organized, thoughtfully & purposefully designed. I have been treated like a professional. No one here will ask me to sing kum bay yah. And I’ve been well fed.

And we were given a historical context for the work we are doing, the philosophy of the document, etc.

And my colleagues are bright, funny and warm.

good day eh?

postscript:

I realized that I have not had the opportunity to ‘splain all about the TACIT.  TACIT (Technology & Curriculum Integration Team) is a group of elementary and secondary school teachers in the TDSB who are considered innovative/advanced in their use of technology in their teaching practice. We are meeting together 4 times this year to share ideas, to be given real, honest to god, professional development, and to receive information about resources and opportunities to take back to our schools & beyond. We also then become an extended arm of the ICT team by offering workshops to other teachers to support their own use of technology across the curriculum.

It’s all so incredibly smart.

And, at the risk of sounding melodramatic, for me, it’s a bit like finding out that there are actually other people on this island, and they speak my language.
