Step 3: Diversify Your Portfolio The other day, I was having a planning meeting with a company about a future project. In the early part of 2012, I attended my first edCamp in Philadelphia. We all know that Google, Microsoft, and Apple are the big names, but how many were on the Canva train 5 years ago before it reached the EDU scene?

I’ve talked to some administrators who say, “Hey, we did an EdCamp last month, and the teachers loved it. I don’t know how to do that with a textbook. I don’t know how to do that with a packet of worksheets. This company has no impact on the editorial content of the show. They love that autonomy.”. And I say, “Excellent!

The desire to mend this chasm started working on me thanks to Edcamp Gigcity. If I have a burning question on how to utilize a chromebook for math instruction, I can reach out to Dan Lyons. I sometimes get jealous of the level of support Greg Bagby gets from software companies due to the funding of those initiatives by his county.

When I think about how to effectively empower educators to create personalized professional learning for themselves, I often think of Google’s “20% time”, where employees had 20% of their own time to move forward Google as an organization. This empowers them to be more creative and innovative.

In schools that succeed in implementing real instructional improvements, teachers figure out how to improve teaching and learning by journeying through multiple passes of a cycle of experiment, reflection and adjustment.

It should be part of the curriculum for a preservice teacher to learn how to leverage these PLNs for their future learning when they are out of the classroom as a student.
