    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?

    Project-Based Learning grabs hold of this idea and fosters deep learning and autonomy by using technology to help students engage in issues and questions relevant to their lives. 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

    Mentorship is often touted as one of the primary means of furthering your career. But traditional one-on-one mentoring relationships may be a thing of the past... Choose diverse people who can each uniquely contribute to your thinking.

    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.

Here's what we've done so far:

  • 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.
