  • learning is both an active and a social process
  • learning is both an active and a social process

      Learning is active, requires doing, could learn a lot in a PD session where teachers just CREATE or DO things with tech they could actually do in their classroom.
  • Second, professional development must be developmentally appropriate. No two teachers are the same in their knowledge of content, instruction, and students, or in their experience in applying that knowledge to the classroom. Teachers must be supported at their current position on the journey from novice to expert. Professional development must start with the teacher and build on her/his current concept of teaching and learning and his/her goals and needs.

      Knowing this- how could we differentiate professional learning for teachers? How could we create tech PD that'd be meaningful to all- google surveys?

  • Finally, professional development must allow teachers to take charge of their own professional growth. Teachers are professionals, not skilled laborers. Like all learners, teachers will only be impacted by those ideas in which they deliberately chooseto engage. Teachers must be afforded the respect to set their own course of development and be encouraged to actively monitor their own progress.

      Give choice- a menu of tools so people can choose what they are learning? A menu of skill levels to choose from too?
  • Of particular importance is the role of collaboration in professional development. In nearly all studies of professional growth and change in classroom teaching, the presence of other colleagues who are attempting to do the same is the most consistent predictor of success
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      People learn together and grow together, but also learn from each other. This needs to be implemented in our tech PD.
  • Third, professional development takes time. The advantage of thinking of teaching as a skill is that training can happen quickly, often in the matter of weeks.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      It'd be great to have sessions that we can learn something... go try it... then come back and practice/reflect to keep learning with the tech/new tools.
  • Perhaps the best way to take advantage of the opportunities available through technology-mediated professional learning is to integrate e-learning into a balanced professional development program that combines formal face-to-face learning experiences optimally followed by online and one-on-one support, “just in time” training and development, and collaborative work on those tasks that most directly influence the quality of teaching and learning
    • jessvanorman

      In face learning, with tech tools- could possible set up a Google Classroom "Forum" for teachers to ask questions and get further help when they are using the tools after PD. A please to drop questions and get support from "expert teachers."

Social Media leadership skills PLN

  • 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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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.

      Re- leader as designer, steward, teacher.
  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      Required for class multimedia projects?
  • That unease soon vanished with practice
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      At school, who is giving us the time to invest in social media literacy for all?
  • agile
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      able to change/adapt to emerging (educational) technologies.
  • Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
     
    Nice descriptions of what we are trying to prepare our students for in the work of work, especially with respect to desirable leadership traits and responsibilities in the business world.
