Blogged on SharonShare

I blogged a short video clip, Do It For Me, that a friend sent. See: SharonsShare today. It also was fed to the top of the NewLearning's main page - I wonder what you folks all think about our "safety net" teaching mentality? Are we sheltering too much? The funny thing was, that a teacher in one of my district elementary schools was blocked from viewing the video! We use a state filtering system which I can over-ride. You can… Continue

Using Social Networking in Education

I just posted a video from CUE - panel discussion on Social Networking in schools. The panel consisted of Sylvia Martinez, James Klein, David Jakes, Dennis O’Connor and moderator Steve Hargadon. What a fantastic group. Take a listen and let me know if this is what you believe. Sharon video is under our Videos and also found here.

Stages of developing Personal Learning Network

from Jeff Utrecht: http://www.utechtips.com/?p=647#comment-139161
Stages of Personal Learning Networks Adoption

Stage 1 Immersion: Immerse yourself into networks. Create any and all networks you can find where there are people and ideas to connect to. Collaboration and connections take off.

Stage 2 Evaluation: Evaluate your networks and start to focus in on which networks you really want to focus your time on. You begin feeling a sense of urgency and try to figure out a way to “Know it all.”

Stage 3 Know it all: Find that you are spending many hours trying to learn everything you can. Realize there is much you do not know and feel like you can’t disconnect. This usually comes with spending every waking minutes trying to be connected to the point that you give up sleep and contact with others around you to be connected to your networks of knowledge.

Stage 4 Perspective: Start to put your life into perspective. Usually comes when you are forced to leave the network for awhile and spend time with family and friends who are not connected (a vacation to a hotel that does not offer a wireless connection, or visiting friends or family who do not have an Internet connection).

Stage 5 Balance: Try and find that balance between learning and living. Understanding that you can not know it all, and begin to understand that you can rely on your network to learn and store knowledge for you. A sense of calm begins as you understand that you can learn when you need to learn and you do not need to know it all right now.

I am somewhere in all stages - wonder if I will ever Balance?
Love to hear your perspectives on these steps.
