It is now a month after BLC08 and a recent comment has stirred up some thoughts that sent me back to a blog draft I wrote months ago. On Defragging my brain after BLC08, Angela Kerns mentioned that of my nine ‘take-aways’, #3 and #4 resonated with her:
3. Face-to-face meetings with your network are powerful… […]

I’m back from a wonderful holiday… in 12 days we visited my sister and family in L.A., and went to San Diego where we visited the Wild Animal Park, Zoo, and SeaWorld (twice). We also went to Disney/California Adventure for 3 days. My kids had a fantastic time, and I found more joy in their […]

This presentation has two parts:
1. Where do our learning conversations need to go? Here are three guiding principles to help us find our way:
• Not the Knowing, but the Process of Inquiry.
• Not covering the curriculum, but ‘uncovering’ the curriculum.

A Blog from Nothing
I remember when I put a ClustrMap on my blog. I saw one on a novel study wiki and thought it would be great for student wikis & blogs, to help students see that they have a global audience. It took me over an hour to figure out how and where to […]

Reflection upon re-reading and re-posting:
This is the last post that I have to move and so I thought I would put my reflection first.

I spent Friday morning with 22 student teachers and a couple teachers from my school. My goal was to introduce them to the world of web2.0, wikis, and del.icio.us.

This is the end of my last post on our class Ning network for Planning 10 this term. The first link isn’t really appropriate but my students get my sense of humour by now, and we just finished talking about sex-ed, so I put it in anyway. For reasons I cannot express in this venue […]
