Development of an Interactive Platform for the consolidation and dissemination of good practices through the Internet in schools (Phase I)

CITE has been commissioned by the Education and Manpower Bureau to run the project “The development of an interactive platform for the consolidation and dissemination of good practices through the Internet in schools”. The aims of this project are to create an innovation community database, a sharing system for teachers to explore and reflect on their own pedagogical uses of information and communication technology with other interested education professionals and to build professional collaboration on action-oriented school development initiatives. The project started in Jan 2005 and it was completed in Jan 2006.

In this project, an interactive platform for teachers’ professional development has been developed. Around 25 good practices from different schools were collected and uploaded to the platform as in December 2005. A dissemination workshop on “Using an Online Database of ICT-supported Good Pedagogical Practices to Scale up Innovations across Schools” was held on 10 December 2005 with an aim to share their experience in using the online database and also on the innovative pedagogical practices they have generated by using ICT that have proved to be effective in enhancing student learning.
