What "Digital" Accelerates #LeadershipDay14 | The Principal of Change - 0 views

  • The network is where the information has been found, but the ability to remix it for your own context is where innovation happens.
  • is essential that we not only share what is happening in our schools, but engage in true, two-way conversations with our communities.
  • Empowering our teachers to share their voice and open the doors to what they do in the classroom, also gives our community a new perspective on what it is to be an educator, and how we are willing to go above and beyond for our kids.

Break Out of the Silo: Become a Connected Educator - Finding Common Ground - Education ... - 0 views

  • Technology is interesting. Some educators love to use it, and it seems to be an appendage that they can easily use throughout the day. Other educators are not as loving, and they hate the word "technology" and think social media is a waste of time. And then there are a group of educators somewhere in between. They have Smartphones, use their Smartboards from time to time, but they don't have a need to find the most current tools.  Those educators in the middle find the tools that work best for them and their students. They have a few "go-to" apps, and they find a balance between paper and computers.
  • I believe that we need to find a balance between using the tools we have always used that work (you decide what that is), and using new tools that involve social media and technology.
  • Teaching can be a very solitary profession. The adults walk into the classroom with students, they close the door, and spend their day going from lesson to lesson.

Am I a Blogger? - The Message - Medium - 0 views

  • Over the last 30 years, we’ve systematically eliminated young people’s ability to participate in public life. They turn to technology as a relief valve, as an opportunity to have a space of their own. As a chance to be public. And, of course, we shoo them away from there too.
  • Traditional aspects of power are asserted through technology. It’s no longer the realm of the marginalized, but the new mechanisms by which marginalization happen
  • Technology is situated within a context of capitalism, traditional politics, and geoglobal power struggles.

50+Ways to Tell a Story - 0 views

  •  
    "It was not long ago that producing multimedia digital content required expensive equipment and deep levels of technical expertise. We are at the point now where anyone can create and publish very compelling content with nothing more complex than a web browser. The point is not that these are professional level production tools, but that the barrier of entry to content creation can be drastically low. And you should find a new mode of creativity when the tool have some limits as to what they can do-- and find that the core of the story is much more important than a widget."

What Does Your Students' Digital Footprints Look Like?Learn2Earn Blog - 0 views

  • It’s clear that students are entering a very different world. Students are now digital citizens, and their digital footprint, which is updated on almost a daily basis, will most likely have a major impact on their future. But, who is informing these students about this? Who is teaching these students the proper ways to use social media?
  • Provide them with authentic projects to complete for authentic audiences in which they can make a positive impact on the world as they learn. Help them share their success stories through blogs, social media sites and other forms of communication. Recognize the importance of your students’ digital footprints and show them how to create a successful and positive online image.
