    If you are cleaning, put this Keynote in the background. Jennifer LaGarde, middle school librarian in Wilmington, NC, (brainchild of our NOOK project) talks about how to build your PLN. This is relevant to ALL educators, not just librarians.

    This keynote helped me understand how to use Google Reader -- I can finally compile all of my bookmarked blogs into one place and actually read them! Thanks for posting this, Katy!

    Yay Katie! I am so glad this was helpful! : o) I LOVE Jennifer LaGarde.

  • Watch a video explaining what Twitter is.
  • Add some well known educational technologists from the list below to your list of people you follow. David Warlick Vicki Davis Angela Maiers Rod Lucier Alec Couros Jen Farr Russel Tarr Kevin Jarrett Steve Hargadon Bernie Dodge Will Richardson Bud Hunt
  • Finally, consider adding some twitter lists. A list a set of tweeps maintained by one twitter user. That user keeps the list pruned so that it's useful to him or her, and it might be useful to you, too. Here are some lists in content areas relevant to some of you in this class. If you add a list to your list of followers, you're adding dozens of other (ideally) well-chosen minds all at once History | Literature | NYT Book Reviews | Biology | Physics | Music |

  • How This Fits Into Your Personal Learning System
  • Twitter's role is to help you tune in to individuals who are sharing useful information. It allows almost instant access to their tweets. The key is to find the right people to pay attention to. Keep a special eye out for useful links that you could store in Delicious or ideas to put away into Evernote.

    Not sure about whther or not you will incorporate Twitter into your PLN? Read this artciel for the basics.  The Hyperlinks look great!

Flip shifts

shared by sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      I'd like to use this concept as an intervention resource
  • The advantage of the flipped classroom is that the content, often the theoretical/lecture-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessed and controlled by the learner.
  • One of the major, evidenced-based advantages of the use of video is that learners have control over the media with the ability to review parts that are misunderstood, which need further reinforcement, and/or those parts that are of particular interest
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      I'd like to see how I can apply this concept on an administrative level and for staff PD

  • With the growth of open education resources via Youtube and Creative Commons, it is important to note that excellent video lectures have been and are freely/easily available.
  • Sal Khan is not showing any examples about what students and teachers are doing beyond Khan Academy. The news stories are not showing the open-ended problems the kids should be engaging with after mastering the basics
  • he focus is on the wrong things. Khan Academy is just one tool in a teacher’s arsenal. (If it’s the only tool, that is a HUGE problem.)
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Great point!   The first is to learn how to find or create powerful flipped lessons.  Second is to have quality work to follow up application of the knowledge gained in the lesson.
  • It really is a cycle of learning model.)  It provides a sequence of learning activities based on the learning theories and instructional models of Experiential Learning Cycles
  • People learn experientially.  It is the teacher’s responsibility to structure and organize a series of experiences
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      this is really key to what common core is about.  We need to make sure that the works we give student are meaningful and relevant to what they are learning
  • This is where and when videos such as those archived by Khan Academy, Neo K-12, Teacher Tube,
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      flipped resources
  • n a user-generated learning environment, students could be asked to locate the videos, podcasts, and websites that support the content-focus of the lesson.  These media can then be shared with other students.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Similar to what we're doing with diigo and the PLN
  • Part of this phase includes an online chat for asking and addressing questions about the content presented via the videos, podcasts, websites.  Through a “chat” area such as Etherpad or Google Docs, learners can ask questions with responses provided by co-learners and educators.  Videos could even be embedded into a Voicethread so students can post comments/reactions to the content.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Another important aspect.  This would be good for getting input for all staff members and its probably more helpful for the ones that arent comfortable talking in groups.
  • They can view them in a learning setting that works for them (music, lighting, furniture, time of day) and can view/review information that they find particularly interesting or do not understand.
  • t is a phase of deep reflection on what was experienced during the first phase and what was learned via the experts during the second phase.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      The so what, how do we put it in action phase?
  • During this phase, learners get to demonstrate what they learned and apply the material in a way that makes sense to them

common core professional_development

shared by sheldon reynolds on 16 May 12 - No Cached
  • Yet a fundamental contradiction underlies the progress: While we are promoting radical change in creating a coherent national framework for what students should know and the way they learn, we have not yet committed to offering teachers the deep learning they will need to transform the way they work.
  • oo many plans for supporting the transition to the common core read more like communication plans than serious road maps for preparing educators to teach the standards.
  • "What made you think you could transform teacher practice and student learning with traditional models of professional development?"
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 16 May 12
       
      Exactly why we need to do our own PLN, it has to model what's expected of the students
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • we will not achieve the outcomes we expect and need without comprehensive professional learning for educators that supports the new standards. The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the common core will require practical, intensive, and ongoing professional learning
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 16 May 12
       
      I think the emphasis on the shifts will be even more important than the stds
  • teachers will need to employ instructional strategies
  • They will need subject-area expertise well beyond basic content knowledge and pedagogy to create dynamic, engaging, high-level learning experiences for students.
  • their leaders will need to champion professional learning in their buildings and back the teachers who coach and support each other.
  • Administrators and teachers working together plan, execute, and assess professional learning.
  • It is collective and collaborative within and across buildings, so the quality of instruction improves consistently from classroom to classroom and from school to school. It includes time for teachers to learn from each other, examine research and effective practices, and problem-solve. It demands leadership from teachers as coaches and mentors, while continuing to tap the knowledge of outside experts and resources.

      Theo, this is what I like best about online collaborative tools. Everyone works on different schedules but we can all share and exchange.
  • the largest education site on the social-networking platform Ning.
  • not only within the walls of a school but also around the globe.
  • You get a chance to see what some of the best teachers in the field are doing, and you can do it on your own time at home,”
  • students can be given a secure, password-protected username to share homework assignments, conversations, and class notes.
  • Developing a virtual green thumb may take some time.

      So how do I use this to plan lessons?  Does this just pave the way to make conversations and share resources such as texts?
