SC12: Adventures in Leadership through Technology

Let's see who is here

Kieran Egan, "What is Curriculum?", 1978

platforms will come and go... we need transferable skills

There is still a focus on 'tips and tricks'

as opposed to

self-examination and engagement with others.

Need to tie use of technology to:

• metacognition
• critical thinking
• problem-based learning

how?

Whole school technology focus on:

• communication
• collaboration
• creation

Digital Activities

• Evernote / Diigo
• Surveymonkey
• Databases
• Prezi
• Graphing (Fathom)

My favourite tools:

• Prezi
• Blogs (Wordpress)
• Google
• Evernote
• Diigo
• Ning

Let's support each other

Build your community

Can we get comfortable with

• wanting help?
• making time to give help?

• blogs
• wikis
• forums

are you creating as much as you're consuming?

ok, neither am I....but are you contributing?

Let's prioritize

"This means that teachers must become the pedagogical design experts, using the power of technology: something that they are not yet prepared to do, but is part of the getting out there story."
