JUNE ENTRIES COMPLETED:

This June, #blogsync is lining up with the Northern Rocks team to offer presenters, delegates and interested onlookers to their 2015 conference a forum for sharing and comparing their ideas, thoughts and responses.

To follow is what this month’s contributors had to say:

TOPIC: “Northern Rocks: Reclaiming Pedagogy”

Remember, you’re welcome to add material to any #blogsync that you’ve already written if you believe it has something to add to the conversation – all you have to do is tweet about it and add the #blogsync hashtag – or take it directly to @edutronic_net

What is #blogsync?

This project involves educational bloggers from all walks of life who opt in, on a monthly basis, to writing a blog entry on our selected topic. As the blog entries are finished, links to them are posted here – until the end of the cycle, at which time the group of responses are archived under that month’s topic.

Who can join?

Anyone at all can sign up for #blogsync – you don’t have to be a teacher – and we encourage a diversity of viewpoints

Whether you are here simply to follow and read the monthly #blogsync or whether you are interested in contributing, be aware that this is a voluntary collective action. No one person controls it or determines its agenda. It’s simply a point of coalescence for a group of educators who are passionate about getting on with the job in the best ways possible.

How does it work?

Every month a topic is decided
Bloggers “sign up” to write on this topic by the deadline
Everyone blogging as part of that month’s #blogsync advertises the links to each others entries
This site acts as a co-ordinating hub, advertising the topics and the blogs written under each month’s heading.

FEBRUARY TOPIC: “Knowledge vs Skills in Education”

This February, #blogsync is curated by James Mannion, whose PhD research, which evaluates a ‘learning skills’ curriculum, has lead him into the centre of what many describe as the “Knowledge vs Skills” debate.

Whether you have already written extensively on the subject, whether you consider it a ‘false dichotomy’ or whether you’re still contemplating the topic, this month’s #blogsync is for you.

All you need to do is sign up below to join February’s #blogsync cycle. Keep an eye out on this page and via Twitter to see what others are writing and then add your view to the conversation.
