Open Learning Commons

Hello fellow Heritage family!

This past week was a huge 25th celebration for our school, and all that makes Heritage a wonderful place to work and play in God's educational playground!  It is so amazing to see how so many gifted leaders, and some unbelievably good teachers with Godly vision have brought HCS to where it is today!  Not forgetting our amazing community of students and parents who support us in this vision.  We are blessed.

During our Open Learning Commons meeting,  we shared some ideas for collaboration amongst students, parents and teachers.  Ideas that flowed from our discussion included: using Moodle for both online and individualized students;  creating a wikipedia for all learning commons collaboration, including our present learning commons interface, and the community's creations;  creating a virtual collaboration world where we could meet and greet each other in cyberspace.  Of course we are excited about all these options- because we just love collaboration!

Now I would love to hear your ideas?  Are you excited about sharing using different technologies?  Of course technology does not lead our school,  but we want to support your voice in a way that is immediate, educational, inviting and encouraging!

WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF COMMUNITY and COLLABORATION?

HOW DO YOU SEE OUR LEARNING COMMONS INCLUDING YOU and YOUR STUDENT'S VOICE?

WOULD YOU ENJOY WORKING IN CYBERSPACE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES?

Comment Here. please:)

Blessings to you,

 Pippa and the Open Learning Commons team.

  1. While community in any form is wonderful, technology is not my "forte". I am learning to expand my knowledge in this arena and looking forward to taking baby steps into the cyber world of community without hindering the face to face community that we already enjoy immensely. Jacqueline Bay

  2. Hi Jacqueline:) Thanks for sharing. Yes technology does require baby steps in the beginning. Face to face is always better, I agree. But our younger generation are digital immigrants and so need us as adults to come alongside of them and share the importance of good digital citizenship. But as you say it takes time.
