Reflections:
Gordon has done more professional development online recently than face to face, via streams and audio file.
It is important not just to solve the problem, but begin to forge relationship beyond current crisis and develop more empathy for individuals
To be an effective leader, one needs to live and learn on the edge, listen empathetically, actively seek out the wisdom of others, and reciprocate with a faithful and purposeful life which lifts and enriches the lives of others.
We hope not to contribute to the following: "Teacher guilty of endangering kids due to boredom."
Leaders are learners, are teachers, share, and support the development of new leaders (repeat thought)
Ideas to run with - We should strive to support intellectual live and joy of learning through a broad array of new strategies
Book - Essential Cognative Backpack, Levine (ASCD)
Thinkering spaces are interactive environments that encourage students to think and play with both physical and virtual "things", reflect on what they they have discover, and then elaborate and share with others - isn't this what a classroom is supposed to be?
Reading and listening to ideas is an essential component of learning. One potential source of new thinking can be found in the Ideas and Innovations podcasts from the Stanford Ventures Program. Played a bit of Ideas and Innovations at Google (http://www.veotag.com/player/?pid=7edc52d3-d397-49db-9adb-c6c6cfb97291)
Note - while session seemed good and paper and rich with ideas, left because speaker was not engaging. Am I more like the kids than I thought? Entertain me and give me and idea and make it stick
Others in attendance who may also be blogging: Chris Craft, Mark the Bionic Teacher, David Jakes, Ryan Bretag, the new coordinator at my local public high school, Glenbrook North, Charlene Chausis (ISTE Recognized School Leader - well deserved),

The presentation was hurt badly by its presentation.
I should have left much earlier than I did. There were some good ideas/thoughts but you just can't present like that any more and expect people to listen.
