In this essay, Elmore sets forth a novel vision for school leadership that would not reside with individuals, but would instead be distributed among various branches that are fully accountable not only to one another and to teachers, but also to the marketplace – in this case, parents and students.

“If YOU could design a physical education class for girls, what would it look like?”
I was especially happy to come across a blog by David Truss, with 3 years of blogging now behind him. David felt that his blog was an invaluable exercise in reflective learning and professional development. It is easy to see why something like a blog can be so valuable when you are able to read back previous posts and actually track your progress, reflecting on what went well and what could be improved.

Page 7: What print materials can teachers copy
under the Access Copyright licence?
Ownership is something I think we spend to much time and effort on….as basically you have two options.
1. School Owned
2. Parent/Student Owned
This decision comes down to two points.
Can the school afford to own all the laptops?
If the answer is no…then Parent/Student owned is your only option
If the answer is yes….then you need to think about and understand your community
Will the school community support a laptop program?
Absolutely, bring what you have, but that strategy is far from perfect. Much can be done with a smartphone, but I am not convinced it is the best device for learning. I still think a small laptop that allows for work production is currently the best device

Here’s what I propose. In the 21st century, we flip Bloom’s taxonomy. Rather than starting with knowledge, we start with creating, and eventually discern the knowledge that we need from it.

Moms and dads provide insight and advice about raising tech-savvy children in the digital age, to help them stay focused and achieve in school and at home.
“We are looking at the impact of the child-parent relationship. If parents have an open relationship with their children and are able to discuss their online activities with them we find incidents of cyber-aggression are reduced and children are less likely to engage in cyberbullying or be the recipient of it,”

Traditional bullying, she says, is often associated with three main characteristics — a power differential between bully and victim, proactive targeting of a victim and ongoing aggression.
Research is beginning to show that cyberbullying doesn’t necessarily involve those characteristics. In the case of a power differential between aggressor and victim — often based in the schoolyard on size and popularity — those qualities don’t apply
-
Another unique element of cyberbullying is that adolescents online often find themselves playing all the roles in what could be described as a traditional schoolyard bullying drama.

This course will require you to be fairly independent. Actually interdependent is a more appropriate term. You'll be learning on your own but are encouraged to work with each other whenever suitable.

Great image with links to tools that can be used at the different levels of understanding.
Don’t share secrets.
Protect your own privacy.
Be honest.
Respect copyright laws.
Be the first person to admit your mistakes.
Think about the consequences.
Don’t neglect your day job.
Remember that quality matters.
1. Be respectful and professional – If it can be found by a student, it is part of your identity be it online or off.
2. Inclusive – You have a right to not connect with students, if you do choose to connect, your choices must be explicit and non-discriminatory.
3. Safety – Protect student identity, respect privacy, be pro-active and concerned about what you, and what others you connect with, share.
4. Learning – If you saw students in the mall doing something wrong, you would likely speak to them. The same applies on the internet. You are an educator and if you choose to connect to student on social media, that role continues.

A question that I have received from many educators/administrators is what could I possibly share on Twitter. Although this is not the “definitive” guideline below, I would love to share my thoughts on what you should tweet

Often students are interested in things we don’t have time to explore in class. This project allows them to do so and reinforces the big idea that the best inquiry begins with high interest.

It allows my students to really focus on, and learn deeply about, things they’re interested in — which often causes them to work hard, enjoy the process of learning, and gain a great deal of satisfaction once they are finished.

[Translated from French] While working on this presentation, I stumbled on this post by David Truss entitled Flipped Pro-D. I so loved the picture of professional development reversed as I made a copy for my presentation in French, here.
