Open On-line Seminar – Mentoring and 21st Century Skills
For those of you old enough to remember, the Yippie leader, Jerry Rubin, once said “Do it!”. And at the start of this year we at Pontydysgu resolved that was what we were going to do. We cannot research Web 2.0 and social software tools for learning without doing it. IN May we launched Sounds of the Bazaar LIVE with a regular monthly broadcast Emerging Mondays. We are planning a new publishing venture (watch this space). And we have launched a regular monthly Open on-line seminar series through the Evolve community.
The next Evolve seminar is on Friday 20 June at 13.00 British Summer Time, 14.00 Central European Summer Time.
Evolve is a Community project which aims at organizing a series of Open International on-line events and seminars to:
•Provide a space for participant driven discussion and debate
• Promote critical inquiry and discourse
• Allow for the presentation of ideas in progress
• Share expertise, ideas and future thinking around common research agendas
All documents and products from the events will be published as Open Educational Resources.
This month we will focus on Mentoring and 21st Century Skills. Anne Fox will lead us on this topic with her Keynote Presentation (further information here: http://tinyurl.com/4oetve ). Interesting conversations and discussions will certainly emerge from it.
Do share your thoughts and experiences about this theme, and of course tag it (evolvejisc) ! 
Your contributions are invaluable to keep this community going. We want to learn from you!
The synchronous event will take place in June 20 at 1200 GMT (For other time zones please check here: http://tinyurl.com/4u7fp3 ).
The Venue for the presentation is in Elluminate – http://tinyurl.com/4tcmxh (no password required)
Challenge:
We will also be hosting a topical activity around the June topic. See how to get involved here.
And if you still haven’t got your own freefolio spot on the Evolve platform, there is still time to do so. You just need to create an account!
We hope you join us. This is will be a great chance to network, to get to know what other people are doing, and also to share your work and ideas.
If you have any questions, suggestions, problems logging in, etc please don’t hesitate to contact us
Pontydysgu’s work centres on developing and supporting an open community around the use of ICT for learning. The Evolve seminars are a step in that direction.
