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.

Here's an idea for an assignment for students (and teachers?) create a set of slides to persuade us to do/choose/learn about something. Catch: the slides can only have 1 word and 1 image per slide.

First Steps Toward Becoming a 21st Century Educator | always learning - 0 views
-
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

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.

I'm a second-year teacher looking to get our school connected with Diigo. Soon, we will be using it with our PLCs and hopefully with students as well.
