  • Portfolios should be:1- About learning and legacy.It isn't just about assessment but about helping kids connect to their legacy and who that student is.efolios should be about taking kids from a number to a unique individual and give us a unique way to celebrate creativity beyond the standardized test.2 - Efolios should make kids not feel like a number to feeling unique. They should be able to pull all of their lives together. Steve Hargadon shares how his daughter used her blog to get into college.
  • 3 - Schools need permanent museums of learning.If I was sending my child to a new school, I would ask that school to show what their students were doing.
  • 4 - Schools can use efolios as a way to celebrate creativity, the arts, and phenomenal work instead of the "standardized test."

  • Twenty-first century school leaders need to become masters of social media leadership.
  • Being a social media leader means you see the technology of social media as a way to invite stakeholders into conversations, not as an announcement system
  • Being a social media leader means you don't just use social media to tell your parents and community what you think they want to know: you tell them the kinds of information they want to have
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Being a social media leader means using it to provide 21st century connections with your parents and community.
  • Being a social media leader means understanding social media in the manner suggest by authors Kitty Porterfield and Meg Carnes in their book Why Social Media Matters: School Communication in the Digital Age: Social media is a "process not a product."
  • Finally, being a social media leader means using it to create an environment of collaboration.

Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Facebook Friending 101 for Schools - 0 views

  • Defining "Friend" Anyone who has seen The Social Network finds Mark Zuckerberg's use of the word "friend" ironic as through the course of the movie we see him lose the few friends he has in order to gain the millions that are online. I've heard it is a mischaracterization (come on what billionare 20-something year old doesn't havea  lot of friends ;-) but nevertheless friend doesn't mean what you think.
  • Let's get this straight. We are talking about Facebook Friends (I call them FF's in class) and a Facebook friend has access to everything you put on your wall (unless you "list" them - more on that later.) It means that if you "friend" someone who hates you that they will be crawling your page and your life looking for something bad about you. It also means that if you "friend" your students and you skip school one day and post "I took a sick day to go to the mall." that you've just ratted yourself out -- in writing. Everyone will know, that sort of word travels fast.
  • In "the South" we are taught to be friendly from the moment our Mom's tell us as a drooling tot to "say hello because he just said hello to you." Be friendly. So, we think we have to "friend" everyone who "friends" us - it is good manners, right?

    "Two incidents at area high schools in recent weeks make it clear that for all the good that social media does to create communities of interest and connect people, its power can be abused and lead to unnecessary alarm."

edcamp unconference conference

shared by Roland Gesthuizen on 09 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • It typically takes a group of people to organize the event. They come up with a common theme of what they want the Edcamp to focus on and then they invite educators from around the school, district or state to attend and present. Attendees do not all have to present but some Edcamps encourage it.
  • Edcamps are about building an educational community and sharing best practices. Camps are known for bring diverse people together for a common good and Edcamps have the same goal in mind.
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 09 Mar 13
     
    "Imagine an unconference. No keynote speaker. No proposal deadlines 6 months before a conference takes place. In fact, take it a step further and think of a conference where there is no need to pay a fee. This type of unconference is called an Edcamp and it's a trending idea in education around the world."

  • "The entire lecture approach is more like a shotgun approach: everyone gets one taste of the same level of instruction. With the flipped classroom, teachers are no longer restricted by that because that's provided at this kid's own pace, at home, off campus." - Mark Washington Director of Technology and Media Services for the Port Huron Area School District, Mich
