Hi Susan ~ I Twitter and I love my PLN on Twitter! I get teaching ideas daily, and I feel like I miss out on great discussion if I am away from Twitter for more than a few days. My Twitter name is BJacketsfan.

Sister Elizabeth, It does take time...and you need to check it periodically. However, some people think they need to read all the tweets, and that's impossible. I follow a combination of English teachers, independent school people, and tech coordi...

I've started using Twitter 3 different times and haven't found a reason to continue. Reading everyone's comments leads me to think I'm following the wrong people. Please could you all make suggestions of who to follow that would show me the useful...

Looks like there are several initiatives to do this, including this one: http://www.opensocial.org/ It seems there's some sort of linkup there to Ning, but I haven't looked very closely at it. My other hesitation with Ning is ownership of data. ...

Hi Bob, Loved your last sentence re: open framework. Just the other day was saying to Fred something along those lines, and thinking about sifting through my online voices – Will I pair down? Will I allocate some for purely personal and others fo...

I'm birv2 on twitter. I started last year great guns and was so excited about the daily stream of ideas and resources. Eventually the stream became a mighty river and I started drowning. I then pruned the list of people I followed and that has hel...

NECC Reflections

I posted a reflection here on my blog. Great to meet so many ISENET-ers there, and to attend my first SIG, too. I am still trying to unpack all the ideas that floated in and out of my brain.
Putting all of that into practice is the next step. Lots to think about as I use social media even more to connect with my students and their families.

Learning from higher ed

My RSS feed includes several bloggers from higher ed, both professors and technology specialists. English professor Gardner Campbell, recently at nearby UMW but moving to Baylor, speaks eloquently about "the digital imagination" as well as how networks enable collective, creative leaning (and much more). New read Britt Watwood, an online learning specialist at V… Continue

Who owns the learning?

I was reading PJ Higgins' blog this morning, and he is pondering essential questions for a class.
He says, "What I am struggling with, and I think it’s a struggle that all teachers and administrators will face in the coming years, is convincing and working with teachers to learn alongside their students, to model their practice for them, to fail in front of them, and to resurrect themselves in front of them."
We are disc… Continue

Just a reminder that we are participating with Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach in a year-long professional development opportunity next fall.

Join a Professional Learning Practice with Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

As you know, current literature indicates the classroom is changing. More and more, we are asking teachers to create environments for children to be collaborative, creative, and connected. The recent Independent

All is well. Kids are growing like weeds. Skylar now 6 is finishing up Kindergarten, Jackson is in PK4 and Tristan is now fully engulfed in the terrible two's. SO LIFE is GOOD. Can't wait to see you in the summer.

Keep in touch.

Hey Susan--great Diigo on the Speak Out post. I'm going back to that one tomorrow (I've taken a benedryl and am a little foggy right now). It looks really good, and I've been thinking it was time to focus my attention on the national level--something we in Independent schools don't always do.

Hey Susan - I saw your twitter yesterday about GoogleApps and I wanted to pick your brain. We (I) am thinking about signing my teachers up (and maybe even students) for GoogleApps but not using the email. Is that what you have done? any word of wisdom? suggestions? You can email me at plennig [at}gmail[dot]com

Well, hello Susan Morgan! Thanks for saying hi. I too noticed that I was not the only Susan Morgan on the ning as I signed up. This looks like it will provide for a lot of relevant discussions. I look forward to reading your posts.

Hi Susan,
I bet his name was Greg Schneider, who is now the Headmaster at Berwick Academy in Maine.
Ooops, this is short as we're off for a walk before it gets too dark. Here's to a delicious Thanksgiving with, perhaps, some time for relaxing :-)
Cheers, Laurie

Thanks Sarah, I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement. And then I'm done. However, o...
