    Here's an idea for an assignment for students (and teachers?) create a set of slides to persuade us to do/choose/learn about something. Catch: the slides can only have 1 word and 1 image per slide.

    Jill got going on Twitter last night and this is the tool I taught her to use. The columns make it easy to say organized. And, yes, that's me in the top left of the screenshot. :)

PLCs

  • professional learning community is simply another item to check off the list, rather than a powerful framework for redefining school in the twenty-first century. Schedules, agendas, tasks, and assignments are not necessarily bad things, but they are not sufficient for building vibrant professional learning community.

      I think this is so important. We're all educators because we are pursuing our passions. The best PLC meeting I've been in all year is when I really saw those passions come out of people.

    Loved the words "proximity, permanence, shared history, and shared vision." This is what a PLC really needs in my opinion. It will be so exciting next year when people are into their second year with the same people...in some cases. Having been with the same PLC two years in a row in the past, I proclaim :) that it makes a big difference!!! Proximity is a big deal too!!!

  • The development of a personal learning network (or PLN) is absolutely essential for any successful 21st century educator.
    • Russ Goerend
      Russ Goerend on 07 Oct 09
       
      The point of a PLN is that we are not alone. We're not the only ones trying to do what we're trying to do -- to be wordy. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel every time we want to try something we see as new.
  • Once you’ve set it up, your RSS reader will aggregate all of the new posts on those fantastic blogs in one place – like an e-mail inbox for websites and blogs. Instead of scrambling around trying to find all the best new posts, just sit back and let them come to you!

      My favorite digital tool is Google Reader. Blog posts are so much more fleshed out and thoughtful than Twitter posts, and comments on blog posts can start a real discussion, instead of a simplified one like on Twitter.
      Don't get me wrong, I get a lot out of my Twitter network, but Google Reader is great.
  • In order to really bring your network together, you will need to share your own thoughts and learnings with your PLN.
    • Russ Goerend

      I agree with this fully. 21st Century Learning involves creating and sharing like has never been possible before. We need to be reflecting and sharing those reflections.

  • Twitter is a powerful tool for sharing quick snippets of your thinking, for connecting with others, and for widening your information consumption a little bit at a time.

    Reading material for our CSIP. Preferably reading material that isn't printed out :) A good first step for our CSIP would be to get back involved with Diigo. This could be a bookmark that we could work on "making ours" by highlighting and sticky noting it.

    This makes me nervous. I suppose its ominous tone has nervousness as an intended effect, but it's still a bit scary.

    Boy, did that title catch my attention. I have never heard of the author before, but loved what he had to say...wish I could go to the conference. He seems to be a mixture of Wormeli and DeFour. Was really interested in what he had to say about teacher leaders and would like to know more about Marzano's rubric that seemeds to be a solution to the ills of grading and traditional testing. Thanks for sharing!

  • If you’re interested in locking down content, why not pretty it up and turn it into a webpage?  There are plenty of free places to post static content if price is an issue.  If you’re going to use a wiki, I would encourage all to exploit the power of the wiki.

      This is a great point that we need to think about in our creation of Wikis. We need to use the right tool to spread our information.
