Feb 2012...
Hey all,
I'm a Feb 2012 starter and thought I'd say hello.
Like most, I'm looking forward to learning new things, but a little apprehensive about managing my time effectively.
This forum looks a great place to make contact with people in a similar position.
I also crated a subreddit that might be of some use: http://www.reddit.com/r/TU100/
Email me at remb3@my.open.ac.uk if you'd like to swap ideas on how to survive the first few months!
Cheers,
Rob

£1.25 million boost for teachers' information technology skills
Vital Professional Development (Vital) helps schools and colleges to enhance their teaching using ICT and supports the teaching of IT and Computing to students. It provides materials that can be used in the classroom to inspire learners and opportunities for teachers to share expertise.
It is supported by a network of regional teams who organise events and activities such as “TeachMeets” across the UK.
Vital was launched in January 2010 with funding from the Department for Education, and is delivered in collaboration with other key providers including e-skills UK.
The additional funding will allow the programme to extend its reach and will support a new In-house Professional Development Partnership, a school-based initiative continuing professional development initiative which include subject-specific web-portals identifying high quality teaching resources.
Dr Peter Twining, Vital Director and Senior Lecturer at The Open University, said: “This is great news for the programme and allows us to partner with more schools and colleges to help them maximise the impact of their existing resources. The In-house Professional Development Partnership model provides an economical yet high quality and effective approach to staff development that is flexible and sustainable, and targeted on meeting each partner institution’s specific development needs.”
