    here are my take-aways from that response. What would you add to it? You must first set a vision of what's possible in play. Identify that the need(s) available can be met by strategic use of staffing and technologies available. Acknowledge past efforts that failed to be implemented fully. Connect with powerful stakeholders (district department directors), as well as those "in the trenches" (teachers and students) Align the plan with standards and goals at the state level Connect with stakeholders and communicate in an ongoing manner. And, a point that David shared explicitly with me, "Run to the resistors" rather than away from them. To me, this means embrace resistance viewpoint as one that can enlighten the conversation rather than stop it.

Web 2.0/Mobile AUP Guide - 0 views

    Information and communications technologies (ICT) policies in schools have two dimensions. One is to ensure that students are protected from pernicious materials on the Internet. The other is to enable student access to the extensive resources on the Internet for learning and teaching. While these two dimensions are not intrinsically in conflict, in actuality, such can become the case.

Free Technology for Teachers: 15 Things Teachers & Students Can Do With Edmodo - 0 views

  •  
    For those not familiar with Edmodo, in a nutshell it is a microblogging system designed specifically for teachers and students. Using Edmodo teachers can create a microblogging network for their classes. Edmodo allows teachers to create a group specifically for their students and exclude those not invited to the group. Edmodo provides teachers with a place to post assignment reminders, build an event calendar, and post messages to the group. Just as with any good microblogging service users can share links, videos, and images.

Jason Ohler : Education and Technology :: Beyond Words and Essays - 0 views

  • Stage 7: Creation Activities: plan, make, create, innovate, originate, construct, produce, invent, direct, program... Bloom's taxonomy was developed during a time when the tools, pedagogy and social impetus for students to create original work were rather weak. Thus the highest rung in the Bloom ladder was evaluation. Fast forward to the digital age, when creativity tools are abundant, and the new ISTE standards promote innovation and creativity figure prominenty, and the ability to create becomes an important high end cognitive function. This applies to all phases of media development.
  • Stage 8: Publication, presentation Activities: show, publish, present, communication... This is a direct result of Stage 7: Create. In the digital age, creativity does not happen in a vacuum. Presentation is very much about creating student work with an expectation of audience. Doing so raises quality standards, and expectations of public involvement. Again, in Bloom's time, there was very little opportunity for public involvement in terms of seeing or evaluating student work. Now, the venues for showing work on the web are copious, international and flexibile in terms of the kind of work they facilitate, including text, video, images, media collages and so on. This directly correlates with Phase V of media production.
