Educators
Social networking has certainly made students’ lives easier. Students share homework, notes and test information before teachers and school administrators even know about it. Grade books and lesson plans have been digital for a while but teachers (much like older people in general) have been slower to visit social sites. These social sites for teachers are going to change some outdated thinking.

What an innovative, forward-looking principal to embrace technology the way he did! I was impressed that the percentage of students on grade level rose 53% in 3years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! These are the types of videos our school boards and administrators need to see. This is far more effective than teaching to the test and constant reviewing for PSSAs!

Interesting glossary/translator of teen texting phrases.
-
I was actually discussing this topic with the Chair of the Business Division at HACC. This abbreviated language that has developed out of texting and instant messaging reminded her of how Court Reporters use similar abbreviations for words and phrases. They're thinking of referencing the similarities to encourage high school graduates to consider court reporting for a career and a major at HACC.

Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers: a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

How many of your teachers are capable of doing this? Do you honestly feel that it's important that they do this, or is it sufficient to focus on NCLB?
-
I am hoping I become proficient enough in some of these "new" technology ideas that I can host after school learning sessions for teachers who want to also explore these items. Of course, there will be no pay for it. LOL
-
Some of our teachers are capable of this. I think it is important that teachers try - the teachers that are willing to make mistakes in front of the students - learn more - and the students help (and they enjoy helping!) -
My question is how does this fit into NCLB? Can we legislatively work to blend the two?! -
We really can't ignore NCLB at this point, so I think the question is how do teachers mesh the two together? -
Communication with parents via e-mail is so much easier than trying to connect on the phone, but it can become overwhelming sometimes. I spend a great deal of time composing and revising e-mails to parents, careful of what I put in writing. -
TIME - we need time to do this! -
Probably not all the teachers; however, to prepare our children for the world we should all be putting our efforts toward these goals.
-
@Beth- I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I tried to get a teacher to collaborate on having the students write persuasive book reviews to be posted online (either or Moodle, or Destiny, or whatever), and was told we could certainly do that, AFTER the PSSA tests were over. That's where the focus is! We need to use the techology to teach the basics!
-
@Amy- I agree..the question is HOW to do it?
-
-
develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.
-
This is a powerful tool ... but as a teacher you have to be able to give up some of the control. The spontanous learning opportunities involving technology are enriching. My 6th graders especially ask lots of cultural questions, and we look them up online together or we find an expert to ask.

I wonder if this idea of 60 second lectures could take hold in an English or Social Studies class, for example. Watch Charles Bernstein's "What Makes a Poem" clip. Clever. Would this be a good hook with your students?

Number 1: Step Away from the BoardMove over. Put your students on the stage. Coach them well and send them to the Board. Use your SMART Slate to get out of in front of your classroom. We all know that students learn best and remember more by doing it themselves, so let them. Play during your conference period or after school. Why should teachers have all the fun?
