Project Zero in action: an educational utopia, of sorts

I spent a couple of days with my study-group leader from Project Zero.
I went with her Alma College students up north. There we visited Long
Lake School in Traverse City Schools (of northern Michigan), a kind of
educational utopia. This is a school that applied for and received a
grant for educational transformation through the Department of
Education Arts Education Model Dissemination.

Students
at this school use "thinking routines;" they use them often, and well,
and at all ages. When… Continue

some baseline questions

One month into the Switchover. Evolution of a homeroom class. November 20, 07

Some baseline questions:

What really constitutes copyright violations? Is this a nebulous thing? Are there rules that hold true throughout this flux of ownership, this age of extreme increase of information flow and accessibility? If someone could give me a simple answer, I'd be grateful. What's ok, what's not? What can we post, legally?

Can we post Youtube videos on our class network? (Why i… Continue

I am considering using a Ning with my 7th grade students. Do you have any tips?

I have Christmas lights in my classroom too! I read your blog on evolution and was really inspired to give my Ning site a go for this coming school year.

Hi Connie, yes we do sound like we're on similar wavelengths in regard to the class...so it'll be good to able to pick up on ideas from you and share what's happening with me...tho we're nearly at the year end..

Unfortunately I won't be able to share the showcase as the students just want the materials made available for the students within our institution at the moment and for when I do conferences etc.


We'll have to work a way around that next year in the projects that we develop - because I want their work to have much wider reach and connection.

Dear Connie
What is your delicious log in name? Mine is carbru e.g.http://del.icio.us/carbru

If you are allowing your kids to access your delicious bookmarks, do you have a separate delicious account for them?
Regards,
Carolynn

Thanks for taking time to connect directly, Connie. I'm helping the WAT beta team test the software they're migrating to now and then I've got a consulting gig in NYC next week. I'll get back to you right after Thanksgiving... Hope all continues to go well with your homeroom in that time...I'm so interested in how you're applying NING there... More later!

Connie, I'm involved with the WeAreTeachers network and I would love to interview you further about what you're doing with your Ning network and your homeroom for a new podcast series I'm doing inside that community. Would you be interested in doing a 30-minute interview?

Certainly. I will invite you today. We use ning as an extension of our campus learning community which consists of various people from KSU and (all over) who are interested in online teaching and academic support services.

We post CFPs, projects, notes, on the site.
 
 

Welcome
