No more differentiated instruction....What we really need to help occur inclassroom is differentiated "learning". This accomplishes the studentownership of the learning, allows for apassion-driven approach, shifts theresponsibility for the learning to thelearner (where it belongs) and changes Source: http://goo.gl/6o3B5the teachers role....Source: Tom Welch as cited at The InnovativeEducator blog - http://goo.gl/KkAYq Learning – a social endeavor or an independent activity...or both?

Are we absolving teachers frombeing lifelong learners when weput the responsibility on student learners?

Ipad Apps Using Blooms Taxonomy in educationis a highly effective way to scaffold learning for the students. With the recent popularity andpervasive nature of iOS devices in school districts it is essential for educators to understand how to implement Blooms inthe classroom using theapps that are available.

Is the reason why Moodle andiPad apps are popular is because we have some semblance of control?

...teachers confide that they cantpossibly create 32 different lessons foreach of their students...When we giveup control and empower the students tolearn the way they want with the toolsthey want, the results are terrific and thestudents are partners with their teacherin designing learning methods, tools,and environments that are best forthem.Source: The Innovative Educator blog - http:// Source: http://goo.gl/vLbFBgoo.gl/3ZULP Learning – a social endeavor or an independent activity...or both?

Is the plethora of tools...overwhelming?

Share in the chat how many of the tools above YOU know how to use.

How many tools are blocked in schools?

"This introductory course has greatly influenced how I feelabout online learning. Although I was very nervous at first ithas clearly given me the self confindence to take on a courseof this nature. Visit online - http://bit.ly/moveysletaIn addition this course has given me the opportunity toreflect on my own experiences and evaluate those skills Ialready had.I encourage anyone who is skeptical about an online courseto embrace it with open arms and reap the benefits it has tooffer." --Adult Learner in San Antonio ISD

"I know that I am an independent learner, but I also know that I am one to respond positively through active conversation with others. I felt that the only way to do that wasWatch video of adult online in a traditionallearners at http://goo.gl/ANy06 classroom; now I understand that I can have that active conversation through others comments and postings."

What is the purpose of professional learning in your district?Source: http://www.my12stepstore.com/media/Cards/HopeOneWay.jpg

Often, professional development in schools is ONE WAY. The purpose isnt to help people learn, its to push a certain agenda or instructional program...a way of standardizing teaching and learning, making it idiot-proof.Source: http://www.my12stepstore.com/media/Cards/HopeOneWay.jpg

"Is the checklist we operate from, our scope and sequence of traditional; skills and lessons, enough for our students to invent, create, collaborate, and solve their own problems?" --Angela Maiers, Classroom Habitudes Source: http://goo.gl/9X4W0Source: http://goo.gl/MdnNf
