The School of Education at RMIT  Unviersity, Australia, created a virtual school called <a id=\"lug0\" title=\"Lathner Primary\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rmit.edu.au\/browse\/Our%20Organisation%2FDesign%20and%20Social%20Context%2FSchools%20and%20groups%2FEducation%2FIndustry,%20community%20engagement%2FLathner%20School\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lathner  Primary<\/a> to have preservice teachers experience pre-programmed  simulations in an interactive virtual space and seek reflective ideas  around what schools and teachers need to respond to new learning  challenges. The virtual school also serves as teachers&#8217; affinity space  to exchange innovative ideas and concepts of teaching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This case is significant in enlightening reformers and scholars to  consider a potential (blended) model for new development in teacher  education, and in contributing ideas to teacher education in distance  learning. It narrates in detail the development of a virtual project and  student teachers&#8217; experiences. Instead of the conventional model of  sending student teachers to various physical sites, the virtual space  not only serves as a student teaching placement site but also creates a  space for all student teachers to share and discuss their teaching  practices collectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Digest: Disruptive Innovation&#8211;A Virtual School Created for Teacher Education &#8212; from edlab.tc.columbia.edu Article Review (book chapter) Drawn on Kress&#8217;s (1995) multimodal theory and the multiliteracies theory (e.g., New London Group, 1996), Faulkner &amp; Latham present a case study on the development of a virtual primary school as a digital tool to disrupt norms of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,269,393,89],"tags":[4,270,760,616],"class_list":["post-6370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-k-12-related","category-professional-development","category-student-teachingteacher-education","category-teachers","tag-k-12","tag-professional-development","tag-student-teachingteacher-education","tag-teachers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6370"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6372,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6370\/revisions\/6372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
