45
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe

Schools13 that13 show13 evidence13 that13 their13 faculty13 really13 knows13 and13 understands13 their13 students13
49
Progressive Teaching and Learning Practices

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
53
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
54
Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world
ConnectEd
55
This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations
Students and Adults
bull Content13 consumers
bull Content13 creators
bull Content13 valuators
bull Connected13 and13 networked
56
Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
41
Julia and Henry
42
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84
The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
85
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
86
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia
