Brainstorm


 * So if we're looking at CELTA online I think our VLE/LMS needs to have the following elements, which could feed into the chapter and at the same time erve as guiding principles for the LMS. **
 * I suggest I work on building the LMS (BBLearn) as well as making observation on underlying principles especially from the edtech stuff I've been working on, and you bring the threads together for the chapter and bring to bear your experience in teacher training. **
 * here are the principles **
 * 1) **Copy **: apprenticeship of observation; observation by/of peers, qualified teachers and trainers; giving & getting feedback; evaluating and being evaluated;
 * Having videod life classes on the LMS for apprenticeship of observation
 * Having discussion threads to evaluate and discuss what the CPs have observed
 * How can we bring in the evaluation of the CPs?
 * 1) **Apply **: linguistic knowledge; SLA theory; methodology; human values
 * play around with a way of linking TPs to different aspects of SLA etc. This could be hyperlinks on wiki leson plan for example or some kind of diagram using a node design
 * 1) **Act **: (peer) micro-teaching, practice teaching; planning lessons, units of work; mentoring; college/school arrangements, relationships with supervising teachers; evaluation and assessment;
 * again wikis for colaboration in planning lessons perhaps
 * how about an experience teacher doing online mentoring within the VLE?
 * 1) **Reflect **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">: use of diaries, critical incident analysis, scenarios and vignettes; social role of English in country; pursuit of self-development; action research;
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Blog it!
 * 1) **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Theorise **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">: discussions; justifications of plans and reports; mediation/scaffolding; statements of underlying principles and philosophy drawing on all the above and anchored in practice.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">discussion boards seem obvious here

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">So we can maybe draw in all of the elements that Julian mentions....
