*Try out realtime and decide how it could best be used in education - sharing with networks - looking online to collaborate on thier own time to decide and discuss the potentials (this is what I DO! Yah! I am on the right track).
Flickr user Noah Sussman powerful image of where to be in teaching and learning - don't be the top dot, be in the middle
Most are happy to share via 2.0 activities if given the opportunity
Connectivity? What will it take to get me to this point?
Our learning curve to all 2.0 is getting smaller and smaller - have to provide PD to get those people motivated
Average classroom teacher does not speak the 2.0 language - we need to make a committment to become tech saavy.
Need to come from administrator - no leadership-no hope.
Web 2.0 connectivity a must -
Web 2.0 and PD (Meg Ormiston)"I need to teach in a different way"
Using Ning - Tech Camp for Educators Social networking hard to get until you get into it and understand it
Classroom 2.0 group
Could you teach a class with Ning? SURE! I want PD to continue after the face to face...impact change, continued dialogue
There is nothing wrong with Social Networking - it is what users choose to place on their network
Through Social Networking - have your won piece of the world.
Twitter is the best PD right now
Community, PD, In Schools
Theory in practice - SKYPE Kristen Hokanson - Pennsylvania Tech Integration Coach
Saving links - social bookmarking Diigo - house all bookmarks and share them out
Wikispaces connects the teacher and student outside the classroom continues the conversation on demand
Blogs private allow students to take ownership and evaluate and collaborate.
Google tools - google apps for education - web conferences to get involved in - contacts Spreadsheets; Docs; Groups;
Developing policy within practice
Library in 2.0 - collab with LRC Libriarian - Tech integrator and Librarian - laptops in the classroom do not need to come to the library - keep in the back on mind what type of data and other resources; meet daily - speak the same language
Collab online tools - allows teacher to watch, moderate, and see what the kids are doing and thinking!
Sharing dekstops 2.0 tools Yugma - events ID's / Free (?) / webinars Vyew
USE THESE TOOLS FOR GOOD!
Round Table type discussion from Web 2.0
Administrators - are our leaders in our districts tech saavy enough
Check out coolcatteacher - check it out.
Some districts block all 2.0 - twitter, google etc
It is about philosophy and perspective - what are you trying to utlize this tool for? Any alternatives? Bring in house like drupal and moodle
IF YOU SEE WHAT IS OUT THERE YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! DO NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT! GBS Principal in this session - seems to have great vision
Adults need to let students teach them - learning by doing - apply acorss the board
Collaborations between various learners
It is all about the students and how they can connect with the local and global world.
Develop out your network - inspiration, personal support, sharing

Wikinomics in Education - Dan Tapscott ; shapes thinking where we are going in the future - MASS COLLABORATION is changing everything! Future of Learning
We is Smarter Than Me
New powerful modes of production and communication
What does 2.0 mean? In the real world? We are preparing our student for? Not the world where we started teaching.
The Perfect Storm in Education
* Most tools are blocked - OPEN them UP
* Net Generation are your students - STOP talking about them THEY ARE HERE!
* Global economy is not impacting our curriculum - YES IT IS!
School is like a lockdown when it comes to 2.0
We have to remove the road blocks - help teachers to use collabortive tools
Classroom teachers are responsibile for every moment of the day - must keep up with the students and what they are doing even those that are creative computing, bypassing filters, proxies
Selectivly appropriate v. policing the kids = give them the skills so that once they leave the school, they are using technology productivly and safely
Leadership needs to understand and stop saying NO - easy but not the right answer
(lots of audience participation...Meg has hardly talked! :) )
Before the tech, discussions should take place - stop chasing
Three different log ins - teacher, student, admin - Idea for blocking issues ..hmmmm?????
Facilitate the Perfect Storm
Some of us are islands - need tech support group
* technology - 2.0 contribute to everything else
* net-gen - generation of kids that grew up collaborating
* global economy forces us to reach out and collaborating
Critical element - classroom teacher needs support
Planning with the end in mind - educate the teachers; resources that we dedicate to the teacher
Change our model of PD for teachers AND leaders
Web Tools - browser based tools verses open source verse software
Acceptable alternatives to software
Teacher Trainers need to train themselves before they train others - if PD is not meeting your needs you need to be committed and make it happen for your own learning
Follow up on all PD is essential
Teachers willing to give time to PD but every moment is dedicated to teaching and with students - admin is responsibile and stand up for teachers - technology is important we need to advance our teachers
What should a teacher in a classroom today look like? Change vision? Leadership level needs to change.
Is there a technology vision specific to technology - what is today's vision for technology in schools
There is no one size fits all solution for technology in schools, PD
Our leaders need to grow, too - if teachers are teaching PD - what are they learning? Where is there PD? Are they missing out ? What is your personal PD plan? Investigate and Play to learn!
VISION - where are we going?
What is your PLAN? What are you going to DO about making sure there is a clear vision?
More about how to you teach and learn in the 21st Century rather than just how you learn? The 21st century kids are here....

When ADMIN uses the above - it is ok! Take a risk! Part of our responsibility
These tools open up accountability of users!
You are in charge of your own learning and own PD
Student - Teacher roundtables; invite them to show them how tools work
23 things Scavanger hunt for teachers
When students leave our watch they need to be prepared for their technological futures - 94% of populations are students - 6% are teachers
who to we teach to
Give rubric/expectation - students be creative; can do anything at all - (jepke)
Kids being a part of the process - nothing new - shift need to be from hardware to web tools (smeech)
Engaging our students is critical! Tools are used to engage -rethink what we are doing - focus should never be the stuff - change in what we are doing - creativity - stepping out of the comfort zone - we do not teach by the blackine masters anymore -
Creativity is so important right now - we need to have time to think - we need to make time to think
