    "Two principles guide this article: 1. Social-Emotional skills and strategies should be addressed and taught in school settings. 2. Video and online games can promote SEL skills and as such, should be integrated into classroom instruction."

    "Big Picture Learning believes that high school graduates must know how to reason, problem-solve, and be active members of the community. At Big Picture Learning schools, there is no canon of information that all students must know. In a world where available information is growing exponentially, we believe that the most important thing a student needs to know is how to learn. Integral to the Big Picture Learning design are our five Learning Goals, a framework for looking at concepts, skills, and abilities and help guide the creation of personalized student curriculum."

      Invest orientation time at start of year building on TGS Digital Library with resources and allow teachers to briefly present their top tools and ones they'd like to improve upon

      This should linked to a teacher's professional growth plan/annual review. I'm dubious about digital resource libraries--but can be swayed. TGS has a small faculty who work closely together. F2F is a better way to share. We get a lot of milage out of our "Idea Fairs" and that's with a faculty of 80. It's more important to identify a person from whom you can learn than to identify apps, web sites etc. People are the most important resource. Also wonder how the students are brought in as resources...?

      While a traditional model of one person putting together a list of resources is quite limited. Our approach digital library is more about being a place for a group to curate resources. Everyone contributes to it and everyone comments on the effectiveness. If a teacher finds, uses and endorses a particular resource - and then shares those finds digitally, we can grow a collection of effective resources. Sharing face to face is important but there is a tendency for great resources to become "hot topics" and then forgotten a few months later. It also is not "inline". Somebody might mention a useful tool but that's not relevant to another at that particular time. If we can capture those recommendations and share them in a central place to be searched then. Finally, TGS continues to have large turnover (and will likely continue to given our nature). Without underpinning shared resources with some kind of "library" a large amount of institutional knowledge goes out the door with every churn. The role of the library is still valid, it just needs to be re-imagined in the context of today's web. Love the "Idea Fair" concept. It's a great idea. Again, I would like to see that "captured" and made available digitally to help grow the organization's knowledge.

      We have two 90-minute blocks of in-house professional development/collaboration time every week. TGS could adapt the model easily.

      Ah nice! That's a seriously healthy chunk of time. That definitely needs to be discussed more in the professional development stream.

      - Easy export to external site or a package/comprehensive "portfolio" - Connect drafts to final products (blogs, videos, maybe others?) so we can show progress on Spot - RSS embeds in Spot for daily reading - RSS widgets curated by admin to stream outside world into Spot - that's all for now...

      - Adobe Bridge (great for media organization and also a skill in that industry) - Diigo to multi-device? - Re-evaluate Documents in place of GoodReader? Students are tending to do this already - Google Reader? In conjunction with Spot or Flipbook?

      Hmm...interesting: RSS can be a powerful sharing/collaboration tool, though not many exploit it.

      - Build in the time for them to curate these with the support of their teachers (e.g. students can get suggestions on which pieces each month or at mid-term markers should be included in their portfolio for the time being) - Friday Homerooms? - Advisor meetings? - On Spot for storage and display with easy

      Whatever you do, make the kit as lightweight as possible. A plain text editor, for example, is preferable to a full-on word processor such as MS Word or Pages. Look for lightweight apps that work across many platforms in order to avoid translation issues that would challenge "Global Impact & Sharing"  Also, look for tools that are tightly integrated with multiple services as this saves duplication of effort and encourages sharing and collaboration. For example, Reeder amkes it dead easy to share RSS feeds (see note under Global Impact and Sharing re using RSS) to Delicious, Twitter, FB and through mail to a host of other services without leaving the app. A lot will depend on how TGS weighs several drivers: individual achievement v. global collaboration, for example. Also, TGS may see different drives for the 9-10 grou v. the 11-12 group
