Who am I?
Who am I? My name is Darren Sudlow and I am the elearning leader for the Cantatech elearning cluster in Canterbury New Zealand. Just a few facts first:
- We have eleven participating schools from as far north as Cheviot and as far south as Twizel.
- Thus far we have been providing a distance learning programme for Cantatech students whose school is not able to offer them the course(s) they want.
- One of the main tools for delivering this programme is video conferencing equipment which is used by the delivering teacher and his/her students wherever they may be.
- These sorts of clusters are nationwide and part of what is called the Virtual Learning Network
- The Ministry of Education has funded a new initiative in which ‘eprincipal’ positions are created for each cluster.
- Some of the clusters are brand new other such as Cantatech, have been going for some time already.
Well enough of the formal stuff. I decided on using this blog as a reflective tool on the journey we have over the next two years. Hopefully others out there will find it interesting to pop in now and then to see how things are going.
