Reflections - Creating a Professional Learning Environment

Use with students and faculty.

Use of blogging during video, back channel conversation, can be positive but sometimes negative

skype better than blogger.

teachers collaborate. Student teacher collaboration both inside and outside the classroom. What is important for kids to be employees in the 21st Century.

Students need to learn how to learn to be a leader and also a follower and the importance of both.

Participated in Clay Burrell's 1001 Tales.

Chem teacher - use of blogging to give voice of their own. Allows for epipahny moments.

Podcasting - try it see. Write essays and submit to npr, recorded and put on blog. Created SAT vocabulary to C & W songs. Allows for global audience, extended families. Great hook.

Online peer editing using Google Docs. Breaks down the wall of the classroom.

Inquiry based questions - use of digital story telling (note - we have changed our US History curriculum around this idea)

Creation of mockumentaries.

Provide release time for PD
