NAMLE Recap

I had the opportunity to present with Rhys Daunic of the Media Spot at the NAMLE conference in Detroit yesterday on the subject of building 21st century learning communities. We had, what I thought, was a very engaging session.

I've embedded the Prezi that Rhys and I put together, along with a sampling of some of the Tweets that came out during the session -- I think they do a nice job of summing up what I think was a powerful dialogue about transforming teaching and learning in the 21st century.

Let's keep the conversation going:

Tweets:

how do you power up the teachers? research shows that teachers are lacking professional development #namle

technology can be "trendy" #namle

we need the foundational skills -- they're not going anywhere. #namle

social is a prevailing word in the new standards. how do people communicate globally about science and math problems? #namle

According to Obama -- The 21st century school is about getting online. #namle

We are preparing kids for jobs that are not do not exist yet. #namle

when students are coming to school, they're powering down. then going home and powering up. #namle

The notion of literacy is changing. What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century? #namle

responding to new standards: nice to see information instead of "literature" #namle
