Mark Quigley, Orewa College on EdTalks from CORE Education



Mark Quigley - Orewa College
Mark Quigley is the Deputy Principal at Orewa College. He discusses leading change in teaching and learning through a school-wide approach - Ako Orewa. Mark explains the school's learning environment created over 5 years, and based on proven pedagogy and practice.

Context/Share
I discovered this presentation by Mark Quigley via the totally excellent EdTalks from the Christchurch based Core Education. Ed Talks are a growing collection of videos featuring New Zealand and international educators talking about learning.

The format
The EdTalk site follows the format pioneered by TED - and offers both direct download via MP4's - iTunes integration, and as in the above, an embed feature . There are also a dozen or so share options with some of the main social networking sites. I am totally impressed by the execution.
