It4all

Integrating Technology for Active Lifelong Learning (IT4ALL) is a non-profit educational organization that offers free or low cost professional development workshops for educators on how to integrate technology for active lifelong learners (IT4ALL) via blended (BL) and blended online learning (BOL) courses, workshops, communities of learning, international collaborative projects, and live online events. The workshops at IT4ALL promote lifelong, authentic, collaborative learning. This means that participants engage in collaborative social learning by doing hands-on activities, creating artifacts, and providing ongoing feedback to the other members in the discussion forms. IT4ALL embraces a life long authentic learning methodology where participants are responsible for their own learning. The facilitators guide and facilitate the participants' learning journey. The online courses are not limited to time or place. The participants can access the content, interact with the other members and the facilitators, and work on the assignments anywhere and at anytime. However, since most of the workshops are only 4 weeks long, participants are expected to be actively involved and to do their very best to keep up with the weekly tasks. All the courses and workshops at IT4ALL are free for members, but donations are always appreciated (donation box). IT4ALL is run by volunteers. You are invited to join the team of facilitators and contribute your time and expertise. In September 2011, we hope to start a new membership program to help in the upkeep of IT4ALL. The annual fee for the membership will be $10. The membership will provide members with free courses and workshops for one year. The membership does not include certifications.
