Telecollaboration Training

Learning Circles Training Course

Teachers in the pilot schools participating in the UNESCO SchoolNet project can join courses to learn how to run Learning Circles. During these courses participants join a mock Learning Circle with several other teachers and go through each step of the process together.

Participants are guided by a Learning Circle coordinator, just as they are in the real inter-classroom project in which they can participate later on. Participants work through Activities 1-7, in that order, over a 10-day training period, following the course timeline.

The course facilitator is the Learning Circle Coordinator and provides participants with timeline dates for this course. Activities 2-7 are directed by the Learning Circle coordinator.

This course serves as both a hands-on preparation and training (a simulation) for participation in the Learning Circle and as a teacher guide for reference while you are participating in the real Learning Circle with your class.

Telecollaboration Workshops

Training Workshop for Facilitating Telecollaboration and Evaluation Activities

A five-day Telecollaboration workshop was convened by UNESCO in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 12 to 16 December 2005. The workshop, titled “Facilitating SchoolNet Telecollaboration and Evaluation Activities in Southeast Asia”, built on the first round of “Learning Circles” - which were conducted over a period of eight weeks, between 13 June and 15 August 2005.

ASEAN Bridges to Learning Workshops

Two telecollaboration workshops were held by UNESCO in the period between 28 March and 6 April 2005 to discuss how to effectively engage in telecollaboration.  The workshops built the capacity of teachers from the schools participating in the UNESCO SchoolNet project to engage in telecollaboration. The workshops also developed a plan of action for piloting telecollaboration among selected schools in the eight ASEAN countries participating in the SchoolNet project and planned the first round of "Learning Circles" to be held later in the year. 

The workshops provided a rare opportunity for face-to-face interactions between a diverse group of about 70 teachers, managers and IT personnel in 24 pilot schools, as well as national SchoolNet coordinators from Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam.
