Using social media to connect students to educators and experts worldwide - 2 views

    This session from the 2013 ISTE Conference shows how "social media like Skype, Twitter and having students write their own blogs can be used to get in contact with students and teachers from other parts of the world."

    I like how this resource provides concrete examples of how to use Twitter and RSS feeds in education. I like the question that is posed..Is being connected, cheating? It raises some very good discussion points.
  •  
    Great article. It probably is a little too much on the practical side for the first assignment but the examples are great and really useful.
  •  
    I think that having students blog can be a great tool in allowing them to express what they've learned and to connect them to others around the world. Thanks for contributing the paper. I would agree with Richard Krause that it does seem more about application than theory.

What is a "Professional Learning Community"? - 4 views

  •  
    This article by Richard DuFour, one of the key voices in PLC professional development, identifies what distinguishes a PLC from other Communities of Practice. PLCs in schools are focused on student achievement, and creating a common understanding of what students should know and be able to do, how we will know when a student has reached mastery, and what we will do when a student is not successful.

    Great article Molly. I had the opportunity to go through a two-day training with the DuFours this past fall. IN their workshop, just as in this article, they stressed these two ideas: 1) emphasize learning instead of teaching, 2) hold teachers (and admins, and students) accountable for the learning. As DuFour states in this article, "Professional learning communities judge their effectiveness on the basis of results."
  •  
    I also had the opportunity to go through a training with the DuFours, but for three days last summer. I felt their were spectacular. Communication and problem solving are also important aspects of PLCs. #EdTechSN

    I am developing my curriculum into a more blended environment. I think the professional learning communities and collaboration suggested here could really help me overcome some barriers. Thank you.
