What will today bring??
Center Court - "local vision"
implementing technology with staff, personal use of skills learned this week used at school, use imovies for meetings, diigo/google research tools for staff/students, offer G a job :-) {he needs to teach a L&C course}, resources to Wiki {multi-person blog} so all staff can see/use, Wikipedia is accurate {open source learning/data collection}, remember to look at "why" {uneducated, afraid, not sure what for, some already there}, personally inside own head then off to staff, let kids own it & create it, never "land" keep learning!Today's videos
added as video, instead of link
I am a divergent thinker not a creative thinker!! That really hit me hard as I always feel not very intelligent compared to my colleagues/educated friends because I use others ideas or can walk through numerous solutions from situations presented. Now I know why I want education to change & like to "think outside the box"...collaboration is one of my strong skill sets but most in education do not care for it or seem to be afraid of my abilities. Collaboration & divergent thinking is OK and in fact probably the norm that is squashed by the education system of uniformity & conformity!
I actually embedded this video with code under HTML (not link, cut n past, etc)
WOW, such powerful videos. I need to share these with my staff. One of my personal charges (vision) is to use technology more so I can be a catalyst for rest of staff. That is why I stated how I put these videos in this blog. I am trying/using different techniques so I can better curate my knowledge.
MOOC's = Massive Open Online Course

I love the imagery you've captured with the snowflake...yesterday felt a bit like an avalanche, but an avalanche of exciting possibilities, for sure! We're in the home stretch and I am enthusiastic and anticipating more greatness to come! :)
ReplyDeleteNice metaphor. Keep rolling down the hill picking up speed and growth. Just don't crash...Thoughtful ideas and reflections in this, Bobby. Did you get a ride?
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful concept... Most of the time, I tend to think of this metaphor in a negative light, and yet this week it feel energizing. Thank you for contributions this week... very insightful!
