Professional development by you, for you. - 0 views

  • November 2010
  • Building-level administrators have to be given the autonomy to plan, implement and facilitate learning for their teachers in a way that empowers their teachers as learners.
  • Don’t unique individuals deserve individualized professional development?

  • I simply reflected upon the ideas shared by Daniel Pink in his book, Drive, and brought the day known as a Fed-Ex day to our little school.
  • Yes, I know Dan Pink isn’t an educator. I get it. There are plenty of skeptics out there when it comes to incorporating the ideas shared by Pink in Drive with the work we do in education. I don’t see any fault in finding inspiration from those outside of education and adapting the ideas to make them work for you, your teachers, and your students. The key is that you have identified your needs, you provide autonomy to your learners,  you support their learning along the way, and you assess the effectiveness of your efforts. The FedEx day certainly isn’t going to look the same in the school as it does in the busines

Technology in the Classroom: Embrace the Bumpy Ride! - 0 views

  • Don’t view technology as just one more thing to add to your day.
  • If technology is something that you try to add after you have planned your reading, writing and math, you are destined to fail at “integrating” technology.
  • use technology when it allows you to do something in a better way than you have done before or to do something that was formerly impossible to do.

  • You can select a tool or app that will give your students an online audience for their learning and connect them with other classrooms and experts around the world. That tool may be as different as a classroom blog or Twitter or Skype.
  • My days with technology do NOT all run smoothly. Sometimes there are many stops and starts.
  • Sometimes a tool that I rely on will not work for some reason or other.
  • things don’t always run smoothly when I am teaching without technology either.
  • For anything that will become a learning routine in my early years classroom, whether it involves technology or not, I model, model, model it and then we practice it together until the students can do it independently.
  • Flexibility and a backup plan are important ingredients in any classroom, but particularly in a space that includes the use of technology.
  • My suggestion for people who are hesitant to use technology in significant ways is to start with one thing. Think of one way technology could enhance or deepen the learning in your classroom and then just try it. If you fumble and falter for a bit, keep trying.
  • To my six-year-old students, and in fact to all students in school today, computers, tablets, smart phones, interactive boards, etc. are not technology. They just are. It’s their teachers and parents who consider these items to be something new or unusual.
  • These tools have the power to become the stuff of teaching and learning if we will let them. Don’t think of them as technology. They are just part of the fabric of life around us. Students need to be shown how to use them to learn.

Goodbye SmartBoard… Hello Apple TV | Exploring Digital Media in Education - 0 views

  • I use our class accounts for Twitter, blogs, Instagram, Skypeetc almost daily in my classroom. We are engaged in various projects at any given moment and we use these tools as a way to communicate with other classes and people all over the world. Each student in my class has their own iPad which they use at various times during the day to engage with a variety of tools, apps, people (often times using social media), their environment, and each other. What the Apple TV allows us to do is to share what we are doing on our iPads at any given moment with the whole class.
