Networks: Gurus and Grasshoppers: A Community of Practice in Graphic Design - 1 views

  •  
    I'm in love with world of graphic design. How many people can say that they teach their craft, I can. That said, I needed to find a CoP that does just that. Although this is from the University of Brighton it provides support with young aspiring graphic designers. 
  •  
    That is great! I would love to teach more of what I love to do. This is a great article that explores CoP within a specific group of learners interested in the same topic (graphic designing).

    What a great resource for district leaders! The bullet points under "districts can" are clear and non-intimidating, the kind of statements superintendents should be able to make to their technology departments to make it happen. The action steps are very helpful, and provide concrete guidance on how to bring in technology to support professional learning in the district.
  •  
    I like how this resource states"WHY" we need to support Professional Devlopment and CoP's and provides action steps for superintendents. A very valuable resource for school boards and upper management.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this Cate. I follow CoSN and am usually up on their stuff, but I had not seen this resource. I love the fact that it includes action steps for superintendents. Too often that level of leadership is left out, then people wonder why change is not really taking place.
  •  
    This provides district administrators with concrete steps for building communities of practice that can help educators develop technical abilities. Suggestions include finding pockets of excellence and working with and benchmarking from other school districts.

Obama on computers - 1 views

  •  
    In this Bloomberg's Business Week article, Aaron Ricadela explores the Obama push to increase the number of computers available to students in America.
  •  
    It's great to see that Obama wants to increase student access to computers but we all know that computers are just a tool. Hopefully he understands the need to provide PD to teachers so that they can use the computers effectively. The worst thing that could happen would be to purchase all the computers and have them sit in the corner with nobody using them.

Multimedia Applications for the Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    A site which gives a lot of great information on multimedia and hypermedia uses in the classroom, as well as many informational resources.
  •  
    There is a clear disconnect between the media students are accustomed to using outside the classroom and the media they predominantly use within the classroom. Students spend copious amounts of their free time socializing, shopping, and even studying on the Internet, where they are flooded with text, images, video, animation, and sound in what is a complex multimedia environment.

Connected Educator - 3 views

  •  
    This video provides the importance and opportunity of connecting using social networking and building up educators through connecting with each other. There are many examples of how being connected has worked for different teachers.
  •  
    Educators have always been connected and new tools help them get connected easier to other knowledge sources. Like the interviewed people say in the video, how do we know that we are doing well if we are not connected and get feedback? I completely agree with the idea of the need of being connected to students, colleagues, parents, community...to be a 21st century educator.
