    I compared the differences between and open and closed PLC. From what I found having a closed membership gives the PLC to be more subject specific and a little more in depth with their topics.

    A couple of years ago I stumbled across this method of formatting text for closed web-based LMSs such as Blackboard or Sakai. I finally got around to creating a screencast. I'm sharing this here as this method is also useful for creating content for social network tools such as blogs or wikis. It isn't a substitute for learning HTML, but it's a quick and easy procedure that works as well as a lot of WYSIWYG editors.

It was interesting to compare and contrast different aspects of open and closed PLCs. I think that buy in really does impact the effectiveness of PLCs. http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/andersont/597/...

    I thought this was an interesting example of how to use the "list" functionality of Twitter to create a professional learning community for people interested in virtual worlds. Note they recommend Hootsuite and Tweetdeck for organizing your Twitter account. I use both of these and find they help.

    This is a great resource for finding great tools found in Google for educators. A lot of great things are out there and the teachers in this group are great at filling you in! I liked Google templates in particular. It's a great resource for history teachers. The time line template would be a great activity for my art history students. http://diigo.com/0d2vd

    When I was teaching in the D.C. area, Harry Wong's ideas got me through. Universities really don't teach teachers how to manage an unruly classroom. Studying the ideas of Wong allowed me to exit survival mode and enter teaching mode.

    Hi Dennis, curious why you shared this resource in a group called "social network learning?" Do you see a connection somewhere? Thanks.

middle school PLC

shared by Libby Cody on 06 Oct 10 - Cached
  • the term has been used "to describe every imaginable combination of individuals with an interest in education—a grade-level teaching team, a school committee, a high school department, an entire school district, a state department of education, a national professional organization, and so on. In fact, the term has been used so ubiquitously that it is in danger of losing all meaning" (DuFour, 2004, p. 6)

      PLC is a buzz word that people like to use, although often times incorrectly as this article points out.
  • The authors of the "Bandwagon" article did not focus much on practices; instead they focused on terminology, structures, and perceptions

      It seems like the authors had an agenda going into their "research" which makes for a very inaccurate or biased article!

      Yay Michigan! Maybe I will have to share this with my principal and see if we have any contacts there or ways to learn from them.

  • The professional learning community concept does not offer a short cut to school improvement. It presents neither a program nor a recipe. It does provide a powerful, proven conceptual framework for transforming schools at all levels, but alas, even the grandest design eventually degenerates into hard work

      Seems like people jump on the bandwagon as a quick patch to use for School Improvement in order to show progress for AYP. Having never given it a true chance, it will not succeed and then the powers that be will jump onto some other bandwagon.

  • The I Can’t Funeral started with every student thinking of one thing they either did not feel successful in last year, or that often made them think, “I can’t do that.”  They each wrote their “I Can’t” on an index card.  Then, while playing very sad music, they placed the card in a “funeral box” and said their farewells to their “I Can’ts.”  They buried the “I Can’t” funeral box in Amanda’s car trunk.
  • ude: Give each student a job. Practice procedures. Learn to be a good listener. Have signals to take care of the small stuff. Create a mailbox. Smile and laugh. Be energetic. Say Thank You/Give certificates. Hold an “I Can’t Funeral.” Come up with a class motto or quote. Tell them why they are learning.

  • Amanda used a PowerPoint presentation to introduce her classroom procedures.  After each slide, the class stopped and practiced each new procedure.  Her repeated practice paid off as the procedures quickly become routines for the students.  Without any prompting, the students knew what to do and followed procedures in a responsible manner.

to how protect cyber bully

shared by Faith B.L on 06 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • Susan Limber, a professor and bullying researcher at Clemson University, said in a presentation last year that parents and schools need to take time to make it clear that cyber bullying is just as wrong as face-to-face bullying.
  • Many students who know it's wrong to pick on a classmate in person may not realize that something done online can be just as hurtful, she said in the webcast for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
  • f a child reports being bullied online, the response of many parents is to take away the child's internet access as a way to protect them. This is the wrong approach, Limber said. "In the children's eyes, this can be seen as punishment, so it's another reason they tell us they don't report it," she said.

      As we introduced our students to learning online, how can we better equipped them to deal with cyber bullying?
