Editor's Notes
- Iowa Core Curriculum A few specific examples My PLN My journey, how it all began, where I am at, where I would like to be. Suggestions
- Won’t read whole thing, just underlined parts. Which of those underlined parts are YOU comfortable with yourself as an educator?
- AND WHAT A WONDERFUL RESOURCE TO HAVE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!
- AND WHAT A WONDERFUL RESOURCE TO HAVE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS! This is SO much more than the technology. Tech is ONLY the tool that makes it happen. MOVE TO NEXT SLIDE….
- If you think of teaching as an “Art,” than the technology is ONLY the potter’s wheel. You can make clay pots w/out one, but the wheel makes it easier. This is NOT about the technology, it’s about how YOU can create a network to help you TRANSFORM your teaching. I firmly believe that one of our responsibilities as educators to seek out opportunities to grow professionally. The WORLD is now connecting and collaborating. It is TIME for educators to step up, JOIN in those conversations, and collaborate. And now with technology, you can do so on a GLOBAL level!!!
- Keep in mind that this is NOT about the tech. There will be things that I show you that might contradict something you’ve heard, done, or seen. It’s about creating a personal learning network for yourself and one that works for you. Angela asked me to come and describe my journey. This is it.
- 50+ followers/ees seems to be the point at which Twitter becomes most useful. Follow ANGELA and Mike!
- Again, it’s NOT about the tech. There are DOZENS of ways to view RSS feeds—find one that makes sense to you and dive in!
- Begin by making it personal. Just like email came alive for many of us when we began using it to communicate with friends and family!
