The long-term subbing job I have has allowed me some great opportunities so far. I've got my foot a little farther in the door at this school, for one thing. I know about job openings before they happen and I can speak easily to other teachers and administrators.
the former Diploma in Telelearning and Rural School Teaching that was offered the Faculty of Education at Memorial University of Newfoundland (see Teaching And Learning Online)
the larger percentage of educators never even dressed for it. They are still in their houses sitting around in their pajamas. This does not mean that they are not doing their job. It means that they are not interacting with others at a party.
Tom, are you saying that the vast majority of teachers are sitting around in their pajamas at home, BUT NOT in interactive groups, not in a PLN? I didn't get this on the first read.
We need to deal with PLN’s in Professional Development workshops. We need to Email links to colleagues who do not use Twitter, Nings, or Wikis. We need to have students develop PLN’s as a source of learning. We need to connect those who need to be connected and then we can all learn as professionals in our pajamas.
