The Bittersweet Journey of Change in Education | Blog | Project Based Learning | BIE - 0 views

  •  
    This is one of an occasional blog post from BIE's partner schools and districts. There was a time when I felt it was a challenge to change the habits of my students. Then I attempted to change adults. Adult secondary teachers, no less.

    I chose to follow this blog due to his focus on PBL and his roll as a resource for others. Many of the transitions that he writes on such such as changing curriculum, and developing new pathways, are topics that have been raised at my school.

open thinking | rants & resources from an open educator - 0 views

  • Catfishing schemes, or romance scams, continue to plague social networking services. In fact, the issue has become so common that there’s a good chance that one of your recent “friend” requests actually came from a scammer versus someone who is actually interesting in pursuing a genuine friendship. Unfortunately, social networks on the whole seem content to turn a blind eye on the problem, despite the fact that people lose thousands of dollars to these types of scams every day.

    In reading about some of the negative sides of using technology, I related to this guys blog about scams, hackers, and catfishers. I've had many experiences like this. He was also able to give fair warnings to educators about some common things they might face when teaching their kids technological tools.

Six social-media skills every leader needs | McKinsey & Company - 0 views

  • here’s a mismatch between the logic of participatory media and the still-reigning 20th-century model of management and organizations, with its emphasis on linear processes and control. Social media encourages horizontal collaboration
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Corporate culture traditional leadership models still based on the ideals of industrialism- not unlike public education in the US. We need more horizontal classrooms.
  • The dynamics of social media amplify the need for qualities that have long been a staple of effective leadership
    • Eric Telfer
       
      You don't need to throw out the baby with the bath water with social media and traditional leadership traits. 
  • Leaders need to excel at cocreation and collaboration—the currencies of the social-media world
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of emotional currency, EQ.

  • The six dimensions of social-media-literate leadership

      Re- leader as designer, steward, teacher.
  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Not always a desirable attribute- instant communication can equal misinformation and inaccuracies. Take 24-7 news. Misinformation is often disseminated because of the pressure to get the information out quickly, rather than accurately. 
  • ncorporate video streams into their blogs
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Required for class multimedia projects?
  • That unease soon vanished with practice
    • Eric Telfer
       
      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
       
      I think that this is one of social media's greatest asset. 
  • Equally important is the skill of creating and sustaining a body of social followers who help to spread and reinforce the message.
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of PLNs as leaders in tech integration.
  • n traditional corporate communications, consumption is a mostly passive act: you are pretty much left alone to make sense of messages and to assess their authenticity and credibility. In the social-media realm, information gets shared and commented on within seconds
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Good for efficient leverage, but lends itself to "knee-jerk" reactions. This will cut down on analysis paralysis, though. 
  • engage more closely with stakeholders
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Parents about classroom events, assignments, projects, papers etc...
  • To achieve this goal, leaders must become tutors and strategic orchestrators of all social-media activities within their control
    • Eric Telfer
       
      At school, who is giving us the time to invest in social media literacy for all?
  • agile
    • Eric Telfer
       
      able to change/adapt to emerging (educational) technologies.
