CAIS Commission on Professional Development | CPD Blog for CAIS Colleagues to Share Pro... - 2 views

  • This post, written by Justine Fellows, is the first of a series of posts written by members of the CAIS Commission on Technology. 
  •  
    You are invited to join our new professional development blog; enter the conversation and write posts about important issues that focus your learning and help other CAIS colleagues. Think of our blog as a faculty lounge for all CAIS educators. It's our venue to share professional learning, ask questions, and give advice:  [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/ Just as an "unconference" moves forward with a participant driven spirit, the Commission of Professional Development created this blog to be a forum for CAIS educators to exchange thoughts, questions and insights about important issues in our learning communities. Email [ mailto:bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org ]bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org for a simple step to becoming a member of this blog. What do we hope this blog will become? An opportunity for CAIS educators to jettison inhibitions that they may have about "writing in the social media" world and break into the digital forum by sharing the wisdom we know exists among CAIS minds. Click on this Edutopia link for an example of a dynamic blog for educators:  [ http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar ]http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar Imagine that the above content of that post and comments were specific to CAIS educators-perhaps from a colleague! The content would be so useful. Moving forward, the CAIS blog will host interesting topics with comment threads that relate to the contexts of CAIS learning communities because CAIS educators know a great deal about teaching and learning. The blog will also be another lens to design professional development programs. The CPD wants to read your posts. Also sign up for updates by clicking on the "Follow Blog via Email" hyperlink so that you can follow your colleagues: [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/

This pampered private school elite can only lead to US decline | Naomi Wolf | Comment i... - 1 views

  • "How many times has a kid said to me,'You work for me; I am your employer,'" sighed one such administrator to me, recently. This unbalancing of the power relationship in the parents' direction has forced private school principals and teachers to cater to parents by increasingly offering an obstacle-free school experience – since that is what parents demand.

      I have actually also heard this stated by public school children (and parents) in the form of "my taxes pay your salary". This is not an independent school thing alone...
  • the teachers work for them; rather than serving as authority figures to the kids, educators at such schools complain that wealthy US parents increasingly expect "service" and "deliverables" from teachers, so won't brook a poor grade or evaluation, or a difficult experience for their child

      The generalizations made here are astounding to me.

Tryangulation: My part of the world is not flat - 0 views

  • The YouTube Wars Prof. Akalın was probably pleased last week when, for a few days at least, we lost our access to that Eurovision winning song. In response to a satirical video that was offensive to the memory of Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, a Turkish court shut down any access to YouTube.com. The offending video was uploaded supposedly by Greeks wanting to antagonize their neighbors, and it prompted a war of offensive and counter offensive videos and endless (and pointless) comments.  It is against the law here to insult Atatürk, but since the offenders were "out there" somewhere beyond prosecution on the Internet, punishment was levied on Turkish Internet users instead. The story is even sadder as I remember attending a conference in Athens last fall with several Turkish colleagues, and we were pleasantly surprised at the warmth of so many Greeks, including several who spoke with us in Turkish.
