Barrow Media Center: Expect the Miraculous

JANUARY 29, 2016

Currently, a group of 2nd-5th graders are meeting every Friday for one hour to learn to code these robots and create projects with them. Donna MacDonald (Vermont) and Jenny Lussier (Connecticut) are two wonderful friends who inspire me through my professional learning network, and they also have these robots on loan.

My building connections no longer served me well enough to meet my needs. Educators would come to these groups to discuss topics that we were all interested in, but were not being discussed in faculty rooms or faculty meetings or not even in the provided Professional Development sessions. Through LinkedIn I discovered Twitter.

All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic. This post was also a guest post for McGraw-Hill Education. If no, then why not?

This is the worse possible post-event outcome I can think of. If no, then why not?

I would not recommend STARTING to form a Professional Learning Network when attending a conference for the first time. Having an insatiable hunger to learn, I first dove into the professional education pool through Twitter. Yup, thanks to a Twitter chat, I'm a published author. She must be reading my blog!"

CoSN’s Driving K-12 Innovation report addresses this challenge of digital equity in term of how school districts are ensuring that students experience innovative, creative, and engaging learning experiences. The presenters all agree that there are many hurdles, especially in a rural district, to meet the digital equity challenge.

Regardless if this is grade level, content area, or departmental it is crucial to learn, communicate, and collaborate together. As a collective professional learning team try to use only online tools when it comes to planning curriculum, documenting meeting minutes/resources/pd, or creating/collecting any other resources.

Plans are in place to provide faculty with appropriate professional learning opportunities and, perhaps most important, heads of school have nurtured a school culture of risk-taking and innovation in which faculty feel safe to experiment, fail, and try again. They prohibit the use of Twitter and YouTube, and they block blogs.

The notion of “effective professional learning” is something that has been discussed for decades. A comparison in the philosophies of today’s school districts yields results that falls across a continuum of who controls the learning. Learn alongside your staff members and model expectations for them. Nothing more.

The most popular form of the unconference is the Edcamp , but many conferences are scheduling an “unconference” day with this same format. It is free.
