Today, June 22nd 2016, is going to be a significant day. The final report for the BLITT project is provided on the blog (see below). This represents a significant point in our progress and impact in implementing blended learning within Initial Teacher Training.
It is putting down a marker of the present student and staff perspectives on our use of technology enhanced learning. It is not the end though. We will be submitting a proposal for future projects and we will be continuing to review and implement our teaching and learning strategies.
The project has enabled the ITT team to work together to develop, share and implement ideas. Staff and students have moved towards a common understanding of blended learning, increased their confidence and competence in teaching and learning using technology and begun to use of communities of practices which all contribute to trainee teachers integrating theory and practice.
My thanks go to all the ITT staff and students and the BLITT project team. Leading any project is a priviledge – working with others, embedding new practices, reflecting on how distributed leadership only works when all members of a team work together, keeping an eye on the budget and timescales and recognising when to step forward or stepback to enable professional discussions and decision making.
