A Principal's Reflections

MAY 25, 2011

Last week my school was fortunate to have the NJ School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool.

In education, the common objective is usually to learn specific content, skills or competencies within defined areas. Ostensibly, learning is an individual goal, and each student does tend to learn in their own way, using their own favoured approaches and tools.

Here is an example I use a lot where I asked people to give me their thoughts on what a PLN (Personal Learning Network) means to them. They are moving more and more into the mobile market and now you can do video calls on the iPhone. So if Ning is gone where can you turn to introduce social networking to your students?

In formal centers of learning, old habits die hard. The tension between open, social learning and the formal, enclosed variety is becoming untenable.

Oh and in the small print of my comic I said 3 important things - Change your passwords twice a year, have a different password for Facebook because FB''s security is notoriously craptastic, and a diff password from ANYwhere else for your bank that is randomly generated.

Oh and in the small print I said 3 important things - Change your passwords twice a year, have a different password for Facebook that you don''t use for ANYwhere else because FB''s security is notoriously craptastic (and the bank, too), and as a disclaimer - I''m not a security expert and nothing is foolproof.
