Teacher Professional Development Sourcebook: The Changing Landscape of Teacher Learning - 8 views

  • So the challenge is to find ways to create online teacher professional development that seems both compelling in its content and also more convenient, easier to fit into the work life of a teacher than the face-to-face courses.
  • online teacher professional development that includes an asynchronous component helps with that kind of reflection. Plus, the online format provides a layer of distance that helps people feel more willing to share things that are a little bit risky than they might in a face-to-face environment.
  • I think the kinds of professional development that involve people sharing artifacts of their practice and talking about them within a larger conceptual framework are becoming more and more popular with teachers.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The first is that it’s easier to do online professional development at scale than it is with local or purely face-to-face professional development.
  • I think this financial crunch is going to force people to move to some other model—one that probably uses a lot of technology,

The Ning is located at: http:dontextandrive.ning.com/. Membership into the Ning is representative of their pledge not to text and drive. The Ning sufficiently addresses current research, data, laws, and even legislation through active blogging and forum discussion exchanges. We are interested in collaborating with schools from within the United States to outside. This is a global issue and deserves global attention. We want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Please join us."

Educational Networking - home - 5 views

  •  
    ""Educational Networking" is the use of social networking technologies for educational purposes. Because the phrase "social networking" can carry some negative connotations for educators, the phrase "educational networking" may be a way of more objectively discussing the pedagogical value of these tools. The original URL for this site (http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com) still works, but http://www.EducationalNetworking.com is now the main URL."

The Anglers Guide to Research | The Educators' Royal Treatment - 3 views

  •  
    "Why shouldn't learning start with hunches? As a new teacher, there are many times I feel stranded somewhere between the older students I teach and the younger teachers above me. I still have strong memories of being a high school student, but am operating in an authoritative role "above" them. I've gotten used to being "the new guy" on the staff, but also to being "the tech guy" to whom many come with questions. I enjoy the dichotomy that being new and also holding a position of soft power puts me in; It's a place that fosters frequent reflection, which is good." An excellent comparison of traditional research methods to 21st Century skills. A great discussion to advocate for the use of Wikipedia, and the difference in research styles between students being a positive thing.

Sputnik Moment: 21st-Century Rocket Boys & Girls | edtechdigest.com - 2 views

  • What we are missing in the 21st century is the view that technology is not the gadgets and the hardware and the software. It is not the atoms or the photons or the electrons pulsing through the Internet or our home appliances. Rather, the technology is us. According to Dr. Kane, “Technology is human creativity and artistic expression… it is knowledge in action… knowledge with a purpose… it is the art in science and engineering…” According to this view, “technology is the space between our minds and our hands.” It is our imagination, our ability to tell stories, our drive to exist and make the world a better place. For Dr. Kane, “…this space is where the speed of light generation operates.”
