kicking it up a notch

if you want to kick it up a notch - we need to go perpendicular to all of this

let us shape how we use our tools.
social presence matters because it builds social capital
the glue that ties us together... if you don't have a really good command of pedigogy
how tech and pedigogy fit together - no tool in the world is going to make a difference.
and even then - need the connections on the other side for this to be up a notch - or perpendicular
sharism - itso
tools opened up worlds that weren't available to me in the classroom before
 it's all about the worlds

learn to be russian
learn to be ...
have kids to use these tools - not for grades... but for collaboration and independence

[this is global voices... ethan would like this i'm thinking]

wolves - careful and thoughtful with tech
russians - content - triangulating it
bundle of six - dream of pedagogy - not separated curriculum... just naturally happens

find his post on - rules to live by

cognitive presence
prof/personal presence
social presence (the glue)

if you're willing to give it a go - 
serendipity will follow


teachers (anyone) kicking it up a notch live in this intersection:
