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."

    "direct my energy and attention on what worked, what went well, and what I feel was successful. I've discovered that this strategy is critical to build my emotional resilience. One of the only things in life that I have control over is how I tell my story -- how I interpret my experiences and make sense of them. If I create a story that is one of learning, growth, and empowerment, I feel better. So how are you telling the story of this school year? "

'Information' To 'Knowledge Agent': Google Changes The Way It Does Search : The Two-Way... - 2 views

  •  
    "The search giant said the move was the first step in transitioning from an "information agent" to a "knowledge agent." "The Knowledge Graph enables you to search for things, people or places that Google knows about - landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art and more - and instantly get information that's relevant to your query," Amit Singhal, a senior vice president at Google, wrote. Google is going to roll out the new feature slowly, but some users should begin seeing the feature this week. In practical terms, what's going to happen when you search on Google is that you'll see a separate "knowledge panel" on the right side of your regular search results that presents information about whatever your searching for."
