This is an example of a teacher’s workspace. A few teachers have their own spaces while others share. Sharing is the norm and up to 8 teachers can be housed in the same workspace. Most teachers are provided with at laptop that is being used both in their workroom as a planning and communications tool, and in the classroom for teaching purposes. The schools own platform is frequently used by teachers, student, principals as well as other staff to communicate.
These spaces look a lot like ours do and sometimes we are very corwded. Our teachers also use technology a great deal and the Technical and Further Education Colleges use MOODLE as their learning platform. Do you use technology a lot in your teaching?
ReplyDeleteOur learning platform is called Fronter and is working very well.
ReplyDeleteI can belive that it´s not easy to prepare studying material when you share room with so many other teachers.
yes technology is a must these days. Alot of things like schedule, webmail and attendence is a must for all teachers. Most teachers also use technology to communicate with students.
ReplyDeleteYes Martina! I agree. It must be difficult to share workplace. There is still a lot of things, dokuments and papers in binders. How do they handel the situation, Jeanette?
ReplyDeleteYes we are becoming more technological but some things are certainly still in paper formats. Sometimes our teachers find it difficult when space is limited. Our teachers have portable offices sometimes and they store documents and resources in trllleys that they can take with them. Do any of your teachers do this?
ReplyDeleteRos: Ha ha, that is exactly what they do! some even have old shopping carts (the small ones you carry) lodging around all the material such as books, laptop and so on.
ReplyDeleteMartina and Anna: I think they just try to focus, some use headphones and listen to music.
