13th Week

This week, I have submitted my updated PLN Mindmap and the presentation.

I am very happy to learn about Jing and Screencast. I can't believe how useful these tools are. Simply amazing.

I will use these two tools frequently from now on. There is so much I can do for our school using Jing and Screencast. A very big learning experience for me. I knew the concept but these two tools made it extremely easy. So i am  happy to learn.

12th Week

I have attended a webinar this week on April 9, 2015. It was from Firestorm Company. The session was about conducting a self study about school safety. The official name and presenter is as follows: 

The webinar “It will never happen here – Conducting a self-assessment – How do you know what you don’t know” was presented by Jim Satterfield, President, COO and Co-Founder of Firestorm. 

The key objectives were:

• Risk-management processes
• Risks correctly evaluated
• Effectiveness of the ERM process
• Evaluation and reporting of key risks
• Review management process of key risks
• System of internal controls operating effectively 
• Oversight of monitoring 

The big questions during webinar were:

• Why measure?

• What Should You Measure?

• How Should You Measure?

• Site Assessment

• What Do You Measure Against?

• What is the Measurement Process?

Overall it was a helpful webinar. But since they are selling some services, the full effectiveness will only be known by me when the services are purchased and used.
