    We need to be able to attach a value statement to what we invest in. For each proposed "new" I think a value statement could be developed for the current model and proposed alternates. Also, what is being undone by introducing the new - what will be given up? What increased benefit is expected from the current state relative to the proposed new?

This resource will direct you to a variety of resources on this approach, the research behind it, and how you can use it in your class to transform your students into engaged and interested independent thinkers

    I asked about the idea of multiple roles in education to Twitter readers and gathered a set of them. I then took this set and went through it with the class online...The result was a unique -- and colorful -- slide show exploring the evolving education profession. It's worth actually taking the time to list some of these roles and to talk about them in detail:

    Despite the non-stop action, the most exciting part of this first semester in a new school has been how much we have been able to accomplish in such a short time. Not just on the individual teacher level, either, much of the work I have been focusing on has an impact on the whole school.

    A few weeks ago I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be amazing to experience an entire school day in the life of a first grader?" I glanced at my calendar, noticed, despite being few and far between, there were some days without any scheduled meetings or commitments. Right then and there, I blocked off days for every grade level and specialist class in my building.

  • What’s important with a PLN is not “what it does for me” but rather how I can use it to change things in education, society, or the world. Learning networks give us potential for action. For many educators, these networks function on a gift-economy basis. We’re involved in a type of social contract where we share freely with others and, in turn, we receive freely from them. Once the sharing stops, the network collapses.
  • Facebook friends are the Pesos of friend currency – the numbers look big but are largely useless
  • What can you do with and for those people in your PLN? Mobilize for a cause? Run an open course? Create something of significance (an image, a video)
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Creation, collaboration, and sharing are the true value points of a PLN. It’s not what it does for me, but rather what I am now able to do with and for others.
  • there is never a good time to be a lurker.
  • Even when we are newcomers in a network or community, we should be creating and sharing our growing understanding.
  • We should all be on a path of elevating our participation

    This time, it will look more like a jigsaw. Five students will comprise each "home" group. Each member from the home group will research a different area. However, this time they won't be researching alone. Instead, one student from each group, will meet in subject-alike groups, and become the expert on their area.

    All of these data were ultimately distilled to those 9 factors (called Key Implementation Factors, or KIFs in the Project documentation) that need to be present in a school to truly realize the full potential of major 1:1 investments. While each factor is worth a post or two in and of itself, I'll just list them here.

    The more I talk to administrators, present to school boards, and persuade educators that we can no longer ignore social-networks the more I am understanding that what schools/districts need is a new position.
