PLC: "The Medium is the Message" | Joel Zehring - 2 views

  • professional learning community is simply another item to check off the list, rather than a powerful framework for redefining school in the twenty-first century. Schedules, agendas, tasks, and assignments are not necessarily bad things, but they are not sufficient for building vibrant professional learning community.

      I think this is so important. We're all educators because we are pursuing our passions. The best PLC meeting I've been in all year is when I really saw those passions come out of people.

    Loved the words "proximity, permanence, shared history, and shared vision." This is what a PLC really needs in my opinion. It will be so exciting next year when people are into their second year with the same people...in some cases. Having been with the same PLC two years in a row in the past, I proclaim :) that it makes a big difference!!! Proximity is a big deal too!!!

Do So Much with an iPod Touch » Moving at the Speed of Creativity - 0 views

  • hese are my notes from Tony Vincent’s NECC 2009 presentation, “Do So Much with an iPod Touch!.” His notes are available with all the links! This was a fantastic presentation in all respects. Tony is a model presenter, very engaging, so relevant with specific classroom examples, has such depth of experience as a classroom teacher with his extensive Palm background, I could go on and on. If you are looking for a professional development guru to work with teachers and students and the iPod Touch, look no further than Tony Vincent.

      This one captured my attention! I need to share this with Susan Wouters because she talked about writing a grant application for a set of 25-30 of these to serve as another "mobile lab" at WMS. Yeah! :-)
