bullet notes to be revised later...
he always starts with something he just learned the day before to model how a teacher should be today... always learning.
http://todaysmeet.com/thompsonsd - backchannel
redefine, literacy, warlick (if i add these words then it will be shared in his handouts.
he demo'd 2nd life - talks about the perks of it is that is unboxing ed - no longer defined by walls.
he and his avatar are good because they share history - that they came from the same perfect ed... sat in same row learning how to perform repetitive tasks. however - that's not the future that happened.
cell phone has given us super human powers... take the phone to the store to know what to get
not sure how much i can type on here with the backchannel... and he's got so much good info... this is exactly how class should be... so engaging you can't wander...
ron says - still a need for paper - wondering what those needs are....
if this is where we're going.... toe rings that are gps, jackets with circuitry, .... we need to be preparing our kids for this... the future they are going to prevent..
so erica mcwilliams - being usefully ignorant, knowing what to do when we don't know what to do.
key thing we need to be giving our kids - how to teach themselves
quote from ron: This is the important concept: prepare our children for their future. Now, consider what this means both intellectually and culturally.
literacy today - investigate anything you come across:
url backtrack - loads parent page
then go to fav search engine, then the organization,
so he showed us that his backtracking came to a blocked sign - but at home they could find out it wasn't a trustworthy place - and then what would they do...
next - wikipedia...
part 1: go find at wikipedia
part 2: now prove it's true
we used to be taught to assume the authority... that was as bad or worse than
ron: Good point: Our written texts may be inaccurate and Wikipedia may be inaccurate; however, Wikipedia seems to self-correct itself more quickly
are textbooks more credible than a source that warns you about credibility
brian: I like books, a lot, but these new ways of gaining info are amazing.
truth is a moving target
wikipedia is by far more reliable than we have any reason we believe it to be..
6 min already flagged for pollution... i heard youtube gets that as well
inaccuracies are opportunities for learning
can you expose what is true....
http://landmark-project.com/ - great resource on david's site (he's been there 15 yrs)
data research in particular
http://landmark-project.com/page-new.php?tag=lfsrawdata&title=Raw%20Data - math in a different way - stats class for sure
copy and pasted into spreadsheet - didn't accept data base - so had to select other than html
math - making number tell our story
thank you for the link @dwarlick - very next day
2010 988 exabytes, doubling every 3 days
2006 sum total, doubling every 2 years
what's an exabyte you say? 1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B = 1018 bytes or 1 billion gigabytes
what's an exabyte you say? 1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B = 1018 bytes or 1 billion gigabytes
if you're only getting people ready for 1990's..... out of the loop man
today is literacy for what you need right now.....
not because of the technology but more importantly because of the connectiveness
250 sets of encyclopedias britanicas in less than a second
information has to compete for your attention.
ron: Here's a question: if we have so much information coming at us, how do we get to deep learning?
that's what we need to be helping our kids with... how to get at what matters
showed video from girl in ca - who's brother was fighting against global economy
any school that is not teaching media and art and music is just producing factories...
spam has grown, we love to hate spam
in 2005 spam cost world 19billion, in 2007 35 billion
copenhagen consensus, we could bring hivaid under control for 27 billion
has to be a humanity side to all this.
not literacy skills but literacy habits,
blog: we are not afraid... established after the london bombing.. he wanted pictures that said - we are not afraid... first day he got 2500
story of his visit where they got wifi and all the parents went out and bought their own netbooks. -
teacher from berthoud - pre- engineering... wondering where he would be without his grant..
how do you get an entire district to change their philosophy...so that money shifts to more important purchases/causes
warlick - tell a story - a new story about teaching and learning - that shatters our old version, bring the students in on that... why you think it's important to be learning in digital environments - then get local tv to start showing it.
convince people that info has changed....
(we need to do this tsd)
(we need to do this tsd)
teachers need to be in the practice of keeping up
ron's take aways:
notion about time: how wisely do we use it ourselves.
use conversations in the hallway
resources - super's job is about finances
use resources differently - rather than wisely
parents have learned that kids need to be bringing home a textbook and paper
a mental model about ed that we need to change
we have to be always learning
end of month - strategic planning process
where we see ourselves in next 10 years, vision 2020
changing dymanic about this thing called tech - but it's not tech - it's literacy
pen and pencil of our generation... digital tech

now in admin meeting:
there's just one literacy, skills involved in getting the information you need to do what you need to do
can you find the appropriateness of it
come up with an online platform to contribute info that can be put in text book - brainhoney? other alg site that wants people to help
open sourced as opposed to packaged content
they're going to see me practicing what they need to be doing
technology opens up portals for richer far reaching conversations
how do we get kids to be more inquirous....
how do we get teachers to be more usefully ignorant
the new question of the day - what did you just learn
we need to get a kids group going
worst thing a teacher can say to me - is oh that's cool, but who's going to teach it to me
afternoon session - pln

slide for this afternoon
people and sources that help me do my job

blogging - a carrying on of a conversation....

his blog: 1st was personal newspaper, then personal library, then personal network
the connectors
the mining
the mapping
blogging is at the heart of my pln - i blog so i can learn
blogging is easy - because it is entirely about the literacy (not about you) reading/thinking/writing
wiki - a tool you use after you have already connected
if you use and follow twitter you are amongst the first to learn something - most powerful pd
mining the conversation... this is the power of the new generation technorati creator says- the blogosphere is the exhaust for the learning environment
taking learning conversations and turning them into content
problem - teaching a unit of maps and want to include best and lates ideas:
1) search technorati for cartography - get 96 blogs found out of a few million - recent ones
looking for people that are talking about things that will help me do my job
dwarlick - his delicious site
dwarlick - his twitter
networking works because it's a network of similar ideas
mapping the network

question - how do you find the time to look at all this - do you have a set time?
his answer - i find so much value in what comes in - i make time to look - you just do the best you can

we have become a question asking culture
assassin's creed - no instructions, no manual
how do you do that with no instructions ??

teaching kids how to do their own programming
algebra - i had learned how to solve for x
what i learned in programming - you're not solving for x, instead you are manipulating y so that x will do what you want it to do.
scratch has it's own network - kids working together on codes, etc. nice
when he took it he got reemed from a peer for taking it without giving credit
that is authentic response rather than a grade or a punitive measure
not just instant gradification
is there value in grammar - chris lehman story
at this school every student has a blog
one day he wrote a blog entry that resinated powerfully with the student body at that school - at the end of the day he went to the english teacher and said - i need you to teach me grammar because my grammar isn''t good enough for my ideas
