If you haven't had a chance to see Quest Atlantis, check it out online, then join our conversation. http://crlt.indiana.edu/research/qa.html http://atlantis.crlt.indiana.edu/ See you Thursday.
Hello Maya,
I agree, being an early adopter is tough. But you are on the right track. Ernie Easter would be a great contact since your students and his are studying the Holocaust. Just that connection alone may be enough for your tech folks to und...
Check out this interview with Michael Horn at COSN. http://www.eschoolnews.tv/Esntv.aspx?Filename=http://hwcdn.net/n4j4y5x8/fms/jdlstate_jdlcity_jdlHighSchool_jdlHighSchool_-1/disrupting_class_c518a5fa-1cd6-4336-8beb-6f873a205719.flv.xml

Terry, SEEDLINGS is OFF tonight. YOU can stop by and listen to Lisa Parisi and Teachers Talking, same time.

Janice, I agree with you on intrinsic motivation and constructivism. For years, no matter what the lesson, I always like to end with a challenge to my students. The challenge being, now create your own word problem, your own rule for this project,...

Keith Kelley said… - Yes... as I tell my students I am the older smarter much better looking brother. We are now in same district.
Camp is very interesting to teach especially with kids from around the world (funny since they only know 2 English words which makes it difficult to teach them and the words are usually swear ones)

We Believe in You and We Will Help!
I had the opportunity last week to attend Tufts Dental School Parent Orientation. Interesting, our son is 24 and going to Dental School and we were invited to an orientation. I was interested to see what kinds of technology a Dental School would be using. I often refer to dentists and dental practice of years ago and compare that scenario with educators and schools of years ago and then ask people to think about the changes in those professions. Which profession do you think has changed the most… Continue

Resistant to Change?
See if this applies to you?
old snow shoes, new snowshoes, how hard is that???
Many of you are probably thinking it is a no brainer, new snowshoes! Well, I am going to make a connection here from old wooden snowshoes, comfort, a known quantity and any new technology, uncomfortable,… Continue

Meet a 21st Century Learner, a prosumer, a student!
For the past couple of months I have worked with 100 eighth graders as they navigate their way through a private Ning, a social network, we created for their language arts classes. We followed the protocol of creating gmail accounts for the students based on a special gmail account. The end result is that the students do NOT use that email to receive any communication. The communication from teachers and students takes place on the Ning. (This in effect is due to the CIPA regulations for student… Continue

The last time we bloggers at TechLearning wrote about going to dinner together was during the NECC extravaganza, where 52 of us signed up online to meet up at a restaurant in San Antonio, and we pulled it off!

Clare,
Why on earth would the teachers be asked to stop blogging? Are they asked to stop having conversations? Are they asked to stop writing about things that matter to kids? How are teachers supposed to disregard one of the major communication f...
We had strong interest - and a great start - among our third grade teachers to have their students begin blogging (mainly around literacy) - blogging in the hands of these talented teachers couldn't be more valuable, in my opinion. Then our admini...

And what do you think of the "gift" addition? Maybe we need to move to Moodle... or Weebly? or ????
Wow... changes. Is this happening on other nings? Where we once had some relatively connected google ads on the side of our ning, we now have match[dot]com ads where Seedlings can explore online dating? I hope this is a short lived anomaly.

Maybe we will meet there sometime! The DC one was too soon and not a good time for me... So we will both keep trying!
Janice
Thanks for the help. I didn't get accepted for the DC session. Maybe next time!

I decided not to apply this time, but next time I am going to plan to get my video done early enough to be viewed, critiqued and edited. Last time people saw some things that now I realize I should have edited, but I just didn't have time.
Janice
Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!
