A revolution in technology has transformed the way we can find each other, interact and collaborate. This wave of tech helps us to create knowledge as connected learners and to develop the social fabric, capacity, and connectedness found in communities of practice and learning networks. Join Sheryl in this interactive presentation as she explores the question- What should professional learning look like in the 21st Century?
Leveraging tribe as a means for self-actualization can occur through connecting with others in personal learning networks (PLNs) and communities of practice (CoPs). When learners connect locally in professional learning communities (PLCs) and globally through their PLNs and CoPs, it allows for social and collaborative learning that enhances cognitive development. Connecting in online spaces amplifies the sharing of knowledge and ideas in a way that promotes diversity of thought and innovation. Forming connections through PLNs is the beginning of developing one's tribe, which provides opportunities for social and emotional fulfillment through collaboration, collective efficacy and developing a shared identity.
This document discusses connected learning and professional development for educators in the digital age. It describes connected learning communities which include local professional learning communities, global personal learning networks, and bounded communities of practice. These connected learning communities allow educators to collaborate both face-to-face and online to support learning and innovation. The document emphasizes that a connected approach to learning and professional development is needed as the world and education system become more digital and networked.
This document discusses transformational change in education through action research and project-based learning. It promotes developing a collaborative culture, becoming connected learners, and transparently sharing what is learned. Action research involves teachers systematically examining their own practices to improve effectiveness. Project-based learning is curriculum-driven and asks an engaging question for students to investigate real-world problems. The goal is to move from an explicit knowledge model to experiences that foster tacit knowledge and connections through intrinsic motivation and social justice outcomes.
The document discusses the changing landscape of education and skills needed for the 21st century. It notes that half of what students learn in their first year may be outdated by their third year, and that social and intellectual capital are becoming more important economic values. It advocates for personal learning networks, communities of practice, and using technology in pedagogically sound ways to develop students' new media literacies and prepare them for a world where knowledge is constantly changing.

This document discusses the need for changes in education to better prepare students for the future. It notes that the world, students, and schools have all shifted significantly since the past. New literacies and skills are needed, like being multiliterate, active content creators, and able to collaborate globally. Learning is becoming more connected and less confined to the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to shift from a teaching focus to a learning focus and view themselves as curriculum designers. Technology should be used innovatively to transform learning rather than just be added on or used mechanically.
Online learning communities are important for keeping students engaged and motivated in remote learning environments. They allow students to collaborate with one another to build understanding and solve problems in an interactive way. The key elements that define effective online communities are social presence, which facilitates engagement and interaction, and cognitive presence, which determines how well learning concepts are understood. Common types of online communities include interest-based communities, information-sharing communities, and professional communities. Benefits of online learning communities include building connections, developing a strong brand, earning customer loyalty, and gaining organic feedback.
Teachers are using technology in new ways to enhance instruction. Communities of practice and personal learning networks allow teachers to learn from each other across schools and countries. Coaches help distribute leadership and facilitate collaborative learning among teachers.
This document discusses the shift to learning that is mobile, networked, global, and collaborative rather than time- and place-bound. It notes that the pace of change is accelerating and that half of what students learn in their first year may be outdated by their third year. Communities and networks are proposed as alternatives to traditional professional development. Connected learners who collaborate online and bring what they learn back to share are described as agents of change.

#learnfwd14 - Professional Learning w/Social MediaLyn Hilt
The document discusses using social media for professional learning. It describes how social media allows educators to connect with global learning networks, engage in collaborative learning communities, and share resources and knowledge. The document provides examples of social media tools like Twitter, Google+ communities, and blogs that educators can use to connect, engage in discussion, and expand their learning networks. It emphasizes that connecting and interacting with other educators online can help drive professional growth that benefits both teachers and students.
Here are some examples of how to apply TPACK:
Content: American History
Strategy: Summarizing and note taking
Tool: Google Docs
Activity: Students work in groups to summarize key events of the Civil War era and take notes in a shared Google Doc.
Content: English
Strategy: Cooperative learning
Tool: Edmodo
Activity: Students collaborate on Edmodo to analyze a novel and discuss themes, posting questions and comments to help each other develop a deeper understanding.
Content: Science
Strategy: Nonlinguistic representations
Tool: ThingLink
Activity: Students create digital images using ThingLink to represent scientific concepts and share their creations to teach their classmates.
This document profiles Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, an educator and author focused on connected learning. It provides information about her background, publications, and areas of work including connected learning, digital literacy, and mobilizing collective intelligence. The document emphasizes the need for schools to redefine themselves and prepare students for a changing world where learning occurs anytime, anywhere through participatory and networked models. It highlights trends like openness, mobility, and personalization and discusses how to shift teaching and learning to focus on collaboration, authentic tasks, and developing 21st century skills like multiliteracy.
The document discusses project-based learning (PBL) and compares traditional teaching methods to PBL. It notes that PBL engages students through hands-on exploration of real-world problems, allows students to investigate issues and topics through projects, and fosters abstract thinking. PBL uses authentic assessment, extends learning over time, and develops 21st century skills like collaboration. The roles of teachers and students shift, with teachers facilitating learning and students taking a more active role. PBL has roots in constructivist learning theories advocated by thinkers like Dewey, Piaget and Vygotsky.
This document discusses strategies for understanding students' needs, teachers' needs, and developing oneself as a learner. It provides tips for getting to know students personally, building relationships, differentiating instruction, using technology purposefully, and making learning authentic. For teachers, it recommends relevant professional learning, collaboration, developing leadership, and support for new practices. It also emphasizes the importance of establishing a vision for 21st century learning, continually learning, and involving all stakeholders including IT staff. The overarching themes are developing a culture of sharing knowledge and ensuring deep learning for both students and teachers.
This document discusses the TPACK framework for integrating technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. It explains that TPACK considers how understanding the relationship between these three elements can help teachers develop effective technology-integrated lessons. The document provides examples of the "7 pieces of the TPACK pie" and guidelines for applying TPACK in lesson planning, including identifying research-based instructional strategies, selecting appropriate technologies, and creating learning activities. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on how technology can represent content in new ways and maximize existing technologies to teach and assess learning.
This document discusses trends in education and learning in the digital age. It addresses how contemporary technologies and digital resources can best meet the needs of learning communities and personal learning. Key points discussed include the need to shift from isolated to connected learning, from consuming to creating, and from learning as individuals to learning in networked communities. Connected learning communities that leverage collective intelligence through participation, collaboration, and social action are emphasized. Professional development is reframed as occurring through communities and networks rather than traditional workshops. The document advocates becoming connected, DIY learners who are change agents through communities of practice.

• It is more than the Internet we know — it goes
beyond empowering people to communicate and
collaborate.
• The Internet of Things can connect any product
or service. And it automatically links what might
emerge as a result of this collaboration — interact
even without human intervention.

20. Managers Leaders
• Believe in standardization
of the process
• Fiercely protects the
status quo
• Manipulate resources to
get the job done
• Focus is on tools and
deployment
• Expect compliance and
reliance
• Safe- Tried- True
• Create change as a way of
solving problems and
innovating
• Ask what if– builds on
strengths and what people
know and can do
• Focus on what can happen if
people know what to do with
tools for self directed learning
• Build thick leadership
density in others.
• Take risks and expect
criticism
21. In Phillip Schlechty's, Leading for Learning: How to
Transform Schools into Learning Organizations he
makes a case
for transformation of schools.
Reform- installing innovations that will work within
the context of the existing culture and structure of
schools. It usually means changing procedures,
processes, and technologies with the intent of
improving performance of existing operation
systems.
22. It involves repositioning and
reorienting action by putting an
organization into a new business
or adopting radically different
means of doing the work
traditionally done.
Transformation includes altering the
beliefs, values, meanings- the culture- in which programs are
embedded, as well as changing the current system of
rules, roles, and relationship- social structure-so that the
innovations needed will be supported.
Transformation- is intended to make it possible to do
things that have never been done by the organization
undergoing the transformation.

23. Do it Yourself PD
A revolution in technology has transformed the way
we can find each other, interact, and collaborate to
create knowledge as connected learners.
What are connected learners?
Learners who collaborate online; learners who use
social media to connect with others around the globe;
learners who engage in conversations in safe online
spaces; learners who bring what they learn online back
to their classrooms, schools, and districts.
24. Share
Cooperate
Collaborate
Collective Action
According to Clay Shirky, there are four steps on a ladder to
mastering the connected world:
sharing, cooperating, collaborating, and collective action.
From his book- “Here Comes Everybody”
25. Connected Learning has the
potential to takes us deeper
―The interconnected, interactive
nature of social learning
exponentially amplifies the rate at
which critical content can be shared
and questions can be answered.‖
From: Collaborative Learning for the Digital
Age in The Chronicle of Higher Education

Davidson, professor at
Duke University
26. Connected sometimes trumps F2F with
deep learning…

• Humans have a natural
propensity to tribe.
• Social learning is a part of
our DNA
• We all have basic needs-
including the need to belong
• Collaborative Inquiry

cognition and more joy
29. Developing Your Tribe
A group of people connected to one another,
connected to a leader, connected to an idea
Need two things:
1) Shared interest (mission)
2) A way to communicate
35. • THE CONNECTED EDUCATOR
Meet the new model for professional
development:
Connected Learning Communities
In CLCs educators have several ways to
connect and collaborate:
• F2F learning communities (PLCs)
• Personal learning networks (PLNs)
• Communities of practice or inquiry
(CoPs)
36. • THE CONNECTED EDUCATOR
1. Local community: Purposeful, face-to-face
connections among members of a committed group—
a professional learning community (PLC)
2. Global network: Individually chosen, online
connections with a diverse collection of people and
resources from around the world—a personal learning
network (PLN)
3. Bounded community: A committed, collective, and
often global group of individuals who have
overlapping interests and recognize a need for
connections that go deeper than the personal learning
network or the professional learning community can
provide—a community of practice or inquiry (CoP)

38. Community is the New Professional Development
Cochran-Smith and Lytle (1999a) describe three ways of knowing and constructing
knowledge…
Knowledge for Practice is often reflected in traditional PD efforts when a trainer shares
with teachers information produced by educational researchers. This knowledge presumes
a commonly accepted degree of correctness about what is being shared. The learner is
typically passive in this kind of "sit and get" experience. This kind of knowledge is
difficult for teachers to transfer to classrooms without support and follow through. After a
workshop, much of what was useful gets lost in the daily grind, pressures and isolation of
teaching.
Knowledge in Practice recognizes the importance of teacher experience and practical
knowledge in improving classroom practice. As a teacher tests out new strategies and
assimilates them into teaching routines they construct knowledge in practice. They learn
by doing. This knowledge is strengthened when teachers reflect and share with one
another lessons learned during specific teaching sessions and describe the tacit
knowledge embedded in their experiences.
39. Community is the New Professional Development
Knowledge of Practice believes that systematic inquiry where teachers create
knowledge as they focus on raising questions about and systematically studying
their own classroom teaching practices collaboratively, allows educators to
construct knowledge of practice in ways that move beyond the basics of
classroom practice to a more systemic view of learning.
I believe that by attending to the development of knowledge for, in and of
practice, we can enhance professional growth that leads to real change.

practice: Teaching learning in communities. Review of Research in
Education, 24, 249-305.

41. • Connected Communities (Tribes) are forming everywhere
• You have the tools you need at your fingertips with more coming
• Your faculty, your students, your school community– need/want
leadership
• We are all leaders…
• You were called to lead..Not manage
• Share…Connect…Leverage…Co-create
• Inside, Outside, Upside Down
Leverage the Tribe
42. Status Quo-- Things are working well most of the time.
THEN
Something happens that creates a sense of urgency to change.
A desire to learn something new. You are presented with
evidence that makes you feel something. It touches you in some
way.
Maybe…
- a disturbing look at a problem
- a hopeful glimpse of the future
- a sobering self reflection
You see it. You feel it and you are
moved to change or act or learn
.
43.
44. • Letting go of control
• Willing to unlearn & relearn
• Mindset of discovery
• Reversed mentorship
• Co-learning and co-creating
• Messy, ground zero, risk taking
Image: http://flic.kr/p/ch6kp3
45. Be a learner first—leader second
• It's all about asking hard questions and then listening deeply
• A connected learner isn’t afraid to admit that they don’t know the answer
to a question or problem, and willingly invite others into a dialogue to
explore, discuss, debate, or generate more questions. (@barb_english)
• Asking our questions out in the open in connected ways @lisaneale
• I believe that being a connected learner leads to more questions than
answers and that is good. I also believe that connected learners have to
learn to take risks - exposing your learning and thoughts can be challenging
@ccoffa
• Lurkers become learners. Learners become contributors. @sjhayes8
46. Wonder is both a
sense of awe and
capacity for
contemplation.
47. It also helps to ask questions like:
1) Why am I planning to do this?
2) How will I initiate this change?
3) Who can I connect with online in my network that can help me?
4) How will I measure our progress?
Or how will I know if we are learning?

61. Critical friends: Form a professional learning team who come together
voluntarily at least once a month. Have members commit to improving
their practice through collaborative learning. Use protocols to examine
each other’s teaching or leadership activities and share both warm and
cool feedback in respectful ways.
Curriculum review or mapping groups: Meet regularly in teams to
review what team members are teaching, to reflect together on the
impact of assumptions that underlie the curriculum, and to make
collaborative decisions. Teams often study lesson plans together.
62. Action research groups: Do active, collaborative research focused
on improvement around a possibility or problem in a
classroom, school, district, or state.
Book study groups: Collaboratively read and discuss a book in an
online space.
Case studies: Analyze in detail specific situations and their
relationship to current thinking and pedagogy. Write, discuss, and
reflect on cases using a 21st century lens to produce collaborative
reflection and improve practice.
63. Instructional rounds: Adopt a process through which educators
develop a shared practice of observing each other, analyzing learning
and teaching from a research perspective, and sharing expertise.
Connected coaching: Assign a connected coach to individuals on
teams who will discuss and share teaching practices in order to promote
collegiality and help educators think about how the new literacies
inform current teaching practices.

the truth, understand the situation, and understand the potential
outcomes of various decisions. And now imagine that this person is
able to make something happen." ~ Seth Godin.
67. Real Question is this:
Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet the
needs of the precious folks we serve?
Can you accept that Change (with a ―big‖ C) is
sometimes a messy process and that learning new things
together is going to require some tolerance for ambiguity.
68. Let’s just admit it…
You are an agent of
change!
Now. Always. And now
you have the tools to
leverage your ideas.
