Okay, I'm adding another thank you-- I've shared this video with two different groups already--it's the perfect opening to teaching about blogging. Short and yet so motivating!
Thanks for posting this--it got me back to my blog; I've been neglecting it lately!

Thanks, Francine

- Hi Pat
It is nice to put a picture to a name. I see that you have entered the CoF wiki. I look forward to what you can add regarding digital libraries and libraries of the 21st century. Any resources and wisdom you can place there will be very useful to the development of the CoF.

I reposted those great ideas for 1:1 English classrooms prompted by your ISED query to the English Teachers group on this site... http://isenet.ning.com/group/englishteachers/forum/topic/show?id=1194706%3ATopic%3A10418

- I hope all of you will contribute to the discussion on NAIS Principles of Good Practice for Independent School Libraries. I think this is something we really need and which will prove quite valuable.

- Hello Patt,
This seems to be the solution for one item many ISS librarians mentioned at the tea.
Thanks for the invitation.

- Alison, Can you send something out to ISS? This would be a good way to get a discussion going about having principles of good practice for libraries thru the NAIS web site.

Alison Ernst said… - Yes, I agree (regarding the cultivation of librarain memebers). Did you initially put something out on the ISS listserv?
No wonder the kids aren't using email anymore...thsi is so easy!

I've used Vimeo, which allows videos to be share via password (or left open if you prefer).
Have you seen this? Pretty cool:)

My school is working with Michael Horn on our next school plan. Michael has graciously allowed us to share his videos with you. We will be using these videos to explore and apply Disruptive Innovation theory to our next school plan.
I am haunted by more failure than success because of failing to adjust my professional development design to match current personal and system realities. But these failures have created opportunities as well. Here's how.

Feed, a Must Read
Anyone who works with or knows a teenager, a tweenager, or a pre-teen absolutely must read Feed by M. T. Anderson. Set in the near future, the author convin...
Laurie,
You are at the heart of what motivates adults to learn. Excellent. Most of my failure had to do with my inability to connect meaning, purpose, and passion to learning that helped teachers improve teaching (this means doing something diffe...
Hi Preston,
I think that PD – and this refers to all types of PD, not just PD related to technology – should encourage and support learning:
• within one's area of expertise
• within one's area of passion
• that complement's one's area of experti...
Thanks, Preston, for sharing the article on finding time.

Time is our enemy, for sure. Sadly too much PD is designed around time and budgets. But honesty is encouraged here as well.
Time is required as teachers deconstruct and construct ideas while creating predictability and control in ready-to-use mat...
Thanks, Liz. We just haven't had much luck with getting teachers to give up those blocks, at least not on a consistent enough basis to make any real progress. I hope you see some real success in making this paradigm shift.
It would come out of their free block. I'm planning to meet with them every two to three weeks for a semester.
I used it pretty actively for about two years and ultimately found it more annoying than useful. Keeping a decent signal to noise ratio took too much care and time. I'm glad others find it wonderful, but it didn't really work for me.
Where is the teacher's time coming from to engage in these more personalized approaches to PD? We would gladly do more of this sort of thing with teachers, but even those motivated to do so have a lot of trouble making time for them.
