Recipe For The Perfect PLN - 1 views

The very best PLNs facilitate wonderful information sharing, learning opportunities and gateways to collaboration between classrooms. Read our recipe for the perfect PLN and start cooking yours up today!"

      How can we in SBISD change our practice to include consideration/appropriateness of technology in instructional/lesson planning?
  • "How have you reconfigured your lessons to take advantage of existing technologies students are bringing to school?' My second question is, "How are you connecting with other educators around the globe in your PLN to see what they are ALREADY doing?"

  • Information
  • Teachers should help students learn how to build a PLN using the devices they own to connect beyond the textbook to the people, communities, and current events happening around their topics of study.
  • When my students are working on their personal passion projects, one of the first things I have them identify are the hashtags and active communities conversing about their topics. It is harder than it sounds.

  • Location
  • I believe kids need both local, regional, and global connections to be well-rounded learners.
  • Generation
  • Communication
  • Technopersonal skills can be as important as interpersonal face-to-face skills as students learn the nuances of online synchronous and asynchronous communications.
  • Connecting with Yourself (Time)
  • Intrapersonal skills are an essential part of self esteem as is the self-talk that helps students problem solve and stay motivated in the midst of struggle.
  • I tell my students I am mining for gold – and the mine is in each of them. We’ll find the gold, but it won’t look like it. We’ll work together to polish and enhance their innate talents and abilities so that when I’m done with their time with me that they will come out shining. This requires personalizing learning and a constant search for the authentic talents of each child.

Moving from Consumer to Producer of Information | The Thinking Stick - 0 views

  •  
    "In the social web each of us becomes a node of information. We are allowed to connect to friends, people, sites, information. We are allowed to consume, produce, share, learn, recreate, remix, and be as large or as small a node as we want. Education in the 21st Century is not about consuming information (it changes to fast), it's about creating new knowledge from what we know, what we think, and what we are passionate about."

We don't need to 'get it' | The Thinking Stick - 0 views

  •  
    "We don't get it, we're not suppose to get it, but we need to learn it. There are so many new technologies, new sites, and new programs being created that people are starting to get frustrated by the amount of new networks, sites, and pace at which things are being created in the name of education. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I don't get most of it, in fact what I think we are all trying to do is to wrap our heads around all of it, make sense of it, and see if it is worth using in education.

8.5x11 | A PowerPoint Book - The Educator's PLN - 1 views

  •  
    "This video is an abbreviated version of [Christina Jenkins] midterm presentation on October 15, 2009. It moves the design language of PowerPoint - backgrounds, transitions, sound and animation - into a physical book. "8.5x11" examines the themes of sameness and disruption in the context of the classroom, and this presentation is an experiment in breaking presentations."

Electronic Teaming for Singletons in a PLC | AllThingsPLC - 1 views

  •  
    "One of the questions that I'm asked all the time as an advocate for both professional learning communities and teaching with technology is, "How can digital tools be used to support the learning of singletons in our schools?" The answer is that there are two steps in any effort to develop electronic learning teams. First, many singletons need help simply finding peers who teach similar content areas and grade levels. Tackling that challenge can start with Twitter."
