WHY DID I CREATE PD APP?
I developed this App so I was able to provide myself with an income while I concentrate on my dissertation and then my PhD... I am attempting to assist in the movement of the paradigm shift in education globally. The linear way in which we educate students (of whatever age) is still based on an outdated system that does not allow students to achieve their full potential. I am passionate about this as we do not educate for diversity we still educate for conformity. This is not only stifling creativity (which has been identified by many experts as what we require for the immediate future), but it is a catalyst to many of the societal challenges we face today. What I am attempting to do in my research is to establish a link between the transformation of knowledge and the use of social media in educational settings to improve learning outcomes. Once I have done this - I am then going to the United Nations in New York and applying for loans to match the money raised from PD App so I can then establish learning hubs all over the world - where any students can go, ask questions and learn from a qualified Teacher - these teachers are from anywhere in the world and they will be able to assist students anywhere by the use of a TEACHER CLOUD - and those hours they put into helping in other countries (as well as their own) will go towards their Professional Development Hours - to enable them to remain registered with the professional body… I am starting with Education - but I see no reason why it would not be able to assist any Profession…
