George Hall Elementary Wetpaint Site

The antebellum mansion was decorated for Christmas with golden magnolia leavesand sugared fruits. It was breathtaking and we learned so much about colonial life from our tour guides.

Even after the end of slavery, the adoption of segregation laws kept life in the United States

divided. The museum was inspiring.

The students had a chance to touch and feed many of the animals.

Everyone enjoyed learning how the farmers take care of everyone

and everything on the farm.

Some statistics-

- 1 billion people on the Internet - 57 million blogs, 1.7 million posts a day.-50 new blog sites created every minute

“None of the top 10 jobs that will exist in 2010 exist today." -- Richard Riley, (Former US Sec. of Ed.)

A Changing World

"Jobs in the new economy--the ones that won't get outsourced or automated--"put an enormous premium on creative and innovative skills, seeing patterns where other people see only chaos." --

Marc Tucker, (an author of the skills-commission report and president of the National Center on Education and the Economy*

Currently, the number of text messages sent and received every day exceeds the population of the planet.

Remote Control for Your Life

Think of the number of cell phones that are Internet capable!

Imagine with me how we can leverage that accessibility in the classroom!

But NOT just for email or surfing the Web– mobile learning, when it truly arrives will be a way to do things we couldn’t do before.

It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes (1.5 x 1018) of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year.

That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years.

Knowledge Creation

For students starting a four-year technical or higher education degree, this means that . . .

half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.

Rethinking Teaching and Learning

1. Multiliterate

2. Changing Demographic

3. Active Content Creators

4. Collaboration and Communication

We are in the midst of seeing education transform from a book-based, linear system to an web-based, divergent system with profound implications for every aspect of teaching and learning.

21st Century Teaching & Learning

What Is An Online Learning Community?

Much of the learning currently happening on the Internet comes from self-motivated individuals with a common interest and a desire to interact with others who share the same interest (Wenger, 1998).

The focus is on interaction…

Attributes of Successful Learning Communities

- a shared vision of what constitutes the mission of the community

- a core group who is willing to chime in on a variety of topics, keep the conversation rolling, and self-monitor the conversations is critical. This can be a formal group "appointed" to the role or just a group who steps forward to assume that role.

- a moderator who maintains the consistent integrity of the group

- opportunities to collaborate and learn such as book reviews, book chats, PD opportunities, lesson sharing, etc...

- provocative issues, yes... topics which draw in a variety of participants from different angles to give new perspectives

First, with several hundred of us from all corners of the field, we have acollective pulse on everything that's going on in education and teacherleadership. 

Second, and just as important, our interactions are daily,even hourly. We are not prisoners of time and location.  We caninstantly connect with one another to get insight, practical advice, andlanguage to use while working with teachers. I've lost count of thenumber times I've used something I learned from the community when working with teachers, administrators, or schools.

ABPC Participant

The invaluable technological knowledge gained from this experience is the most important aspect of the program. With this knowledge, I am now able to engage students and expand their technological literacy as well.Amy LoweGeorge Hall Elementary

The professional dialogue that evolved in our VLC from the Elluminate sessions has been very purposeful. Also, the sharing of tools and how different teachers have used them has helped us to determine our growth goals.Dottie MontgomeryWinterboro School

This experience has helped me grow more professionally than just about anything I have experienced in a very long time. I feel more confident about myself and more inspired. I have been teaching many years. Though I considered myself an excellent teacher, I have not been where I should be in regards to moving forward in this 21st Century. I now feel as if I am on my way!!Charlotte WilsonVestavia Hills Elementary East
