One of the biggest benefits of this incredible little device is the support of the user community. From young children, to retired folks with way too much time on their hands (he says jealously). People from all walks of life are happy to share their experiences with you to help you along your way.

Raspberry Pi Podcast
I forgot to mention yesterday, that in addition to producing a Raspberry Pi infographic, I also shared a few words on this amazing little computer via a podcast. Please take a listen and let me know what you think?

Raspberry Pi Infographic
As I've mentioned many times in my PIDP posts, I am a fan of the Raspberry Pi computer. It is a wonderful device for introducing computer concpts (Input & Output) and computer programming to a wide range of skill levels. From Elementary School students, to graduate students, to use in Industry. And the user community is simply fantastic!
One of my projects in PIDP 3240 is to try my hand at producing an infographic and I've chosen to take a brief look at the Raspberry Pi. Please feel free to check out my infographic at Raspberry Pi Infographic
And please feel free to let me know what you think?

Teaching Naked
It's funny how the title of a book can bring forth so many different responses....
When I started the PIDP3240 program we were informed that the required text was "Teaching Naked" by Jose Antonio Bowen (2012, Jossey-Bass).
Well you can imagine all the different visions that went through my head.... And no, not literally teaching naked, but remembering back to my first time in front of the class, when I felt I was the sole focus of 30 new students in that classroom. I felt intimidated, frightened, but would only admit to being "nervous" (grin).
As I have mentioned in my reflective journals this is, in my opinion, the best book I have read throughout my PIDP learning process. To boil it down to a single sentence, this book is about using our most valuable time, face to face time with our students, in the most productive way we can. How can we harness todays technology outside of the classroom, so that our students can focus their energy and attention on their learning journey.
If you are wondering how to "make more time" for your students, give this book a read, it will be well worth your time!

Interesting Read
I'm reading the fieldbook and it describes dozens of real world examples of the strategies and processes acutally used by companies on their path to a learning organization.
If you get a chance, give it a read!

That's just cheating!
Hehehe, part of our course requirement was to link to the School of Instructor Education website and Facebook page.
Since this blog has been used for previous PIDP classes, I checked, and yep, I had the links done for a previous class.
Another tick goes on the list (grin)
