  • The development of a personal learning network (or PLN) is absolutely essential for any successful 21st century educator.

      The point of a PLN is that we are not alone. We're not the only ones trying to do what we're trying to do -- to be wordy. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel every time we want to try something we see as new.
  • Once you’ve set it up, your RSS reader will aggregate all of the new posts on those fantastic blogs in one place – like an e-mail inbox for websites and blogs. Instead of scrambling around trying to find all the best new posts, just sit back and let them come to you!

      My favorite digital tool is Google Reader. Blog posts are so much more fleshed out and thoughtful than Twitter posts, and comments on blog posts can start a real discussion, instead of a simplified one like on Twitter. Don't get me wrong, I get a lot out of my Twitter network, but Google Reader is great.
  • In order to really bring your network together, you will need to share your own thoughts and learnings with your PLN.

      I agree with this fully. 21st Century Learning involves creating and sharing like has never been possible before. We need to be reflecting and sharing those reflections. For transparency's sake, my blog is www.tagmirror.org

  • Twitter is a powerful tool for sharing quick snippets of your thinking, for connecting with others, and for widening your information consumption a little bit at a time.

      Great description of Twitter.

    Reading material for our CSIP. Preferably reading material that isn't printed out :) A good first step for our CSIP would be to get back involved with Diigo. This could be a bookmark that we could work on "making ours" by highlighting and sticky noting it.

PLCs

shared by Russ Goerend on 08 Oct 09 - Cached
  • 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.

      What can we do to avoid these pitfalls?

      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!!!

  • 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! :-)

    Boy, did that title catch my attention. I have never heard of the author before, but loved what he had to say...wish I could go to the conference. He seems to be a mixture of Wormeli and DeFour. Was really interested in what he had to say about teacher leaders and would like to know more about Marzano's rubric that seemeds to be a solution to the ills of grading and traditional testing. Thanks for sharing!
