    "Questions to ask before showing video Does the video meet your objective? Did my supervisor approve the video? How long is the video/video clip? Can the video foster useful outcomes within a short time period? What do you expect your students to accomplish? How will you convey the topic (lecture, discussion, hands-on activity?) What materials will you use to support your instruction? Where in the video can I engage students and/or check for understanding? Am I in violation of Copyright Law and Fair Use Guidelines?"

  • Sunday, August 1, 2010 5 Ways to Build Your 1.0 and 2.0 Personal Learning Network The digital age has made the development of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) easier than ever before. The PLN is a network created by an individual learner, specific to the learner’s needs extending relevant learning connections to those around the globe who share interests, passions, and talents. PLNs provide individuals with an unprecedented ability to access and connect with leaders and experts around the world bringing together communities, resources and information impossible to access solely from within school walls. Personal learning networks can be comprised of people you know via face-to-face (f2f) and virtual connections. In the best of all worlds they are people you connect with in both ways. Personal Learning Networks can be described as 1.0 and 2.0

      I agree, it allows you to connect with your colleges and gain insight into what you could possibly implement inside your classroom while also sharing things that have worked well for you in the past with others.

  • I developed a site called Innovation Field Trips which enables schools engaged in innovative work to share

  • Join a social network, subscribe to blogs, comment and Tweet. If you do, you’ll not only learn a lot, but you will contribute to the learning of others as well.

      Also, like Patrick said, I think it's great if just using it as a vehicle to gain and share information in your field rather than for personal purposes.

      Blog I read talked about teacher in Middle East(maybe Iran) using the Great Gatsby as a way to illustrate excesses of American culture-thought interesting considering movie is coming out and my sophomore is reading it. Interesting to see how teachers elsewhere use same techniques but with different slant

      Some of the most useful things I've ever learned on the internet were simply from lurking. Paintball, Photography, Car Repair - Your question is not new, someone else already asked it, you just have to FIND where they asked it

      This is one of the best descriptions of twitter i've ever come across. It's incredibly hard for me to describe it to "digital immigrants", and I've already forwarded this video to someone who I've tried to explain it to in the past and most likely failed.  But again - flashing and burning forrest here bro.

      For the first time, I feel like I get the value in twitter. Being a "Digital Immigrant" myself, I lacked the perspective to see how twitter can be utilized. It is a great explanation!

      I feel like the face to face learning communities will be more useful early on while we're trying to find our places in districts and classes. It's different to speak to another teacher who has different expectations/admin/kids, vs someone who has worked for 10 years in the school you're just starting at. 
    • mary ann st jacques
      mary ann st jacques on 31 May 12
       
      I agree. In establishing yourself, face to face communication is still really important and reveals qualities you have or just your demeanor and personality which may not be revealed otherwise.
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 31 May 12
       
      I also agree.  I think we all need to figure out for ourselves to what extent we should use sites like facebook and twitter early on to connect with our school communities.

  • In the 1.0 stage participants are mainly consumers of information. In the 2.0 stage participants are actually producing/creating information.
    • Stephanie Falcone
      Stephanie Falcone on 30 May 12
       
      I would say we're in the 1.0 stage right now.
    • anonymous

      I think once we become comfortable with researching others work, and creating our own lesson plans, guidelines, etc., we will join the 2.0 stage and share ours!  
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 31 May 12
       
      but that's ok.  I think during student teaching once we've had time for trial and error with our own ideas, we can move on to 2.0.
    • Gina Renda
      Gina Renda on 31 May 12
       
      Definitely more comfortable with "watching and learning" stage of 1.0

      I've got trust issues: how do I know the resources are legit? Doesn't the school give us everything we need? when did this change? What percentage of teachers are actually up to 2.0 at this point?
  • One terrific way to build your personal learning network is to find out if there are other teachers in your school and district doing innovative work with which you connect

      I'm not sure it was in the book but I do remember talking about it.  You need to build connections in order to help yourself become a better teacher.

    • mary ann st jacques
      mary ann st jacques on 31 May 12
       
      Yes, we read that in "Burned In" and discussed it in class as well. It's important to have a positive circle of peers to confide in especially on those more trying days.

      We read that in "Burned In' and discussed it as well. Surrounding yourself with a positive group of professional peers is key especially on those trying days. This would give you an opportunity to expand your group.

      Daniel Salvas on 31 May 12
       
      I know for me personally, I like to see "expert demonstration" or rather, that I learn best by seeing somebody else do it and explaining "why."  Having a peer that can share great ideas would be priceless.
