Changing the Discussion: May 2009
http://changingthediscussion.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Wow, I just learned about this tool from our CFF Coach - Wolfram/Alpha. This type of tool has the power to show educators just what Web 2.0 is all about. It should also challenge them to think about what they are teaching their students. Here is a link to the screen cast. That explains the website possibilities. Friday, May 15, 2009. On Changing the Discussion. Ps - Check out our MS on NBC 10! Thursday, May 7, 2009. New Technology Learnings 09-10. Change is messy. Many in my di...

Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Self-Engagement at 8 Years Old. This morning I watched my 8 year old son show his morning sitter how to enter the world of Alice. Being a retired teacher, she was amazed at what he was doing. He and I had dabbled in this 3D programming world when he had said to me, mom, I want to create a web-page.like Webkins.you can teach me that, right? Well, how could I say no?

Monday, March 30, 2009. School on a Bus. A colleague of mine sent me this article from the NYT over the weekend that talks about buses in Arkansas being wired for Internet. So students can learn on their long commutes to school. Harnessing idle time for learning, what a great idea! Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Remember Who Your Followers Are. Last week Jodan Burnham visited our school. I tweeted about it.a reporter who follows me saw my tweet and then wrote a story about it. Thursday, March 19, 2009. Justwow...

Changing the Discussion: Sit in a Different Chair Today

Friday, January 29, 2010. Sit in a Different Chair Today. So the new Apple iPad. Was introduced today and there were a lot of disappointed folks out there twittering and blogging and writing crude comments. As I discussed it's possibilities with some of my colleagues, they too were disappointed. Everyone was looking for the computing Utopia and they feel like Apple fell short. I would say, as a few other writers have, David Pogue. I bet you don't even know because you haven't even tried it yet. For t...

Changing the Discussion: How Do You Connect the Dots?
http://changingthediscussion.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-do-you-connect-dots.html
Tuesday, March 23, 2010. How Do You Connect the Dots? Tonight I read about the the Extreme Makeover - School Edition. Where the school district highlighted won the 2009 Sylvia Charp Award for District Innovation in Technology. What struck me the most about what this district did was it's focus on "technology as the foundation for a whole new instructional program." Simple, yet not really. Their focus was based on well researched pillars of instruction. In Glen Cove School District. Follow me on Twitter.

http://changingthediscussion.blogspot.com/2010/03/now-were-talkinglet-them-bring-it-in.html
Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Now We're Talking.Let them Bring It In! Almost three years ago I wrote a blog entry about a crazy idea. .allowing students to bring in their technology and provide for those who can't afford it. Today at our Montgomery County Technology Directors meeting we had a discussion about it and how it is inevitable. So, we are (finally) starting the discussion! Not that this "solution" won't be without it's challenges, but what good positive change ever is? Follow me on Twitter.
