Twitter and Canadian Educators | Canadian Education Association (CEA) - 0 views

  •  
    An emerging group of leaders in Canadian education has attracted thousands of followers. They've made Twitter an extension of their lives, delivering twenty or more tweets a day that can include, for example, links to media articles, research, new ideas from education bloggers, or to their own, or simply a personal thought. At their best, edu-tweeters are adeptly leveraging Twitter to brand themselves, to reinvent teacher PD, and perhaps to accelerate the transformation of our Canadian education systems. Twitter is being used to extend formal PD conferences beyond their venue to followers on Twitter in real time; it's facilitating informal discussions ("unconferences") among educators with common interests; it's allowing best practices to "go viral" on the Internet; and it's allowing innovative classroom teachers to challenge the status quo.

My brain can't handle the distraction coming off these devices."

Innovation enters the classroom | 360 Research | Resources | Steelcase - 1 views

  •  
    "Want to see something amazing? Visit a college classroom. You'll be amazed, perhaps astounded to learn that today's classrooms look completely - like the ones you sat in five, 10, or even 50 years ago. Despite revolutionary technology, the information explosion, and an interconnected planet, not to mention improved teaching and learning methods, the typical college classroom is fixed in time like a museum diorama."
