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

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/

"flippped" instruction places responsibility for content-viewing onto the student... they listen (or interact) with content outside of class and then class time is used for more personalized activity. Nice list of bullet points and links to resources

These floating sticky notes are interesting when you're sharing them with a group. Does anyone else have trouble seeing embedded content on this page at school? I think it is my school firewall that is blocking some of the embedded items. At home, I see it all fine. I added the "weekly feature" item on 4-27-08, because I was so struck by that stack of slides from David Truss.

I have just noticed this little note! Yes, I do not see this while at school. Makes me wonder what else I am missing! -

hundreds of thousands of Web-empowered volunteers are able to very efficiently dedicate small slices of their discretionary time, the traditional experts – professors, journalists, authors and filmmakers – need to be compensated for their effort, since expertise is what they have to sell.

With almost all of the world's codified knowledge at your fingertips, why should you spend increasingly scarce attention loading up your own mind just in case you may some day need this particular fact or concept? Far better, one might argue, to access efficiently what you need, when you need it. This depends, of course, on building up a sufficient internalized structure of concepts to be able to link with the online store of knowledge. How to teach this is perhaps the greatest challenge and opportunity facing educators in the 21st century.
