Today, we are announcing a new resource that will allow you to search through the many resources that we have available on the Web. This might be especially helpful to those of you who are having us visit your schools. It serves as a great way to introduce teachers to some of the topics and ideas we'll be discussing during our visits to your school or district.
The resource is available on Diigo at http://www.diigo.com/user/novemberlearning.

The lessons learned during this campaign might just force us to rethink of teaching and learning. How are we teaching students to mobilize in their learning efforts and take grasp of the opportunities before them?
Micheal Wesch's keynote began by discussing how students today are seeking meaning and identity. Much of this is done through self exploration and collaboration with others online, but it is all happening outside of school. Schools should be latching on to the power that technology brings us to go beyond only teaching information literacy and critical thinking. Schools must also help students develop skills in communication, empathy and thoughtfulness.
