I added it again because the video wasn't showing up for everyone--this is a different source, Viddler.
I have been surveying our 6th graders at the end of their first year of 1:1 for a few years. I also occasionally survey other grades, but that is more hit or miss. I'd be interested in a project.
Congratulations! You're in for an exciting couple of years:)
I'm not a huge fan of technology mission statements because I believe that technology should serve your school's mission. Chris Lehman (principal of the Science Leadership Academy) says...

I don't really just go to conferences! This is an exploratory visit. I am checking out this new conference. It's in Raleigh, so practically local. Sleeping at home.
All of these will be on http://gdsmstech.blogspot.com/ I'll set up the blog posts tonight and Thursday night. Friday's sessions look really good.
Here's the list of sessions I'll be attending, see what appeals to you and remember, you can either participate live or just look at the conversation later.

"Reality Education"
I've been reading the book Influencers. One of the authors' assertions in the book is that the best way to establish or change a behavior is through direct experience. How do we provide direct experiences for learners? I would argue that one way to start is by providing direct learning experiences for teachers rather than "workshops."

Live blogging today, drop by if you have time.
What careers do independent school graduates go into? 1. Business, 2. Law, 3. Medicine
How do we encourage them to move beyond, without demeaning or diminishing those choices?
I'm in a workshop with Peter Cobb who is helping us revision our mission and curriculum
He with the above observation.
He's already mentioned one of my heroes, Paul Farmer.

Adolescents with "conduct" problems continue to be less successful later in life.
This is really interesting. A British group did a longitudinal study of just over 3,000 adolescents, starting in 1946. Teachers were asked to evaluate the children's behavior at ages 13 and 15. Those children who were judged to have either mild or severe conduct problems continued to have problems throughout life. The researchers specifically looked at alcohol abuse, divorce, early unplanned pregnancies, social class and a vague "happy with family life." You can read the… Continue

- Lifestream refers to the practice of creating a stream that chronicles one's life through user-generated content primarily via social media. Mark Krynsky can better tell you the origin of the term. Here is MY lifestream.
I am currently experimenting with a "LEARNstream" (for my course CIT 499) which might be considered a lifestream for a learning experience. As I think that I understand a Personal Learning Network, I would guess that a learnstream has relevance, BUT I'm UNfamiliar with PLN so I haveN'T thought about it YET!

Karen Newman said… - Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your welcome. It's true--we have a lot of snow/ice on the ground that doesn't seem to go away. I think you'll be seeing a stream of folks joining from Montclair--we're trying to get the entire MKA faculty into ISENET over the course of the next week as a basis for our new "professional growth process" (which is taking the place of our old evaluation system)!

David Colon said… - I have read Here Comes Everybody and thought it was an interesting, if sometimes dense, read. What strikes me about all these developments is that most people are pretty unaware of all the types of changes that Shirky describes. It's still a fad that will soon pass (flagpole sitting, in Shirky's terms). To me it seems more like something out of McLuhan that we only understand faintly. Interesting times ahead...

Once I rest up from a late night (for me) at a baseball game I'll have a few more things to say on both blogs (Admirable Faculties and New Progressivism). Thanks for the kind words!

Great surveys! Of the two the MS survey seems a little stronger. What I feel is missing from the HS survey is questions that capture the ubiquitous fluid use of computers that develops over time in 1:1 schools. For instance, I see a lot of s...
