The Web20Classroom

Social media allows us to connect, to learn, to grow and to reflect not only within ourselves but with each other. Our personal learning networks are all different. Each of us has something different to learn and different to offer. All I wanted to do was improve and I felt stuck.

I constantly see and hear about leaders who tout themselves in a way that makes others develop a perception that they actually know something about the effective integration of a variety of technology tools to improve professional practice. This is not to say that they are unwilling to learn or embrace significant change in this area.

Fortunately for me I have already begun to work with my staff and students to transform the teaching and learning culture at New Milford HS as it pertains to cell phones as mobile learning devices. By the end of last school year many more teachers were incorporating mobile learning devices into their instruction.

It is a shame that the growth of leaders, and all educators for that matter, is a trivial concern to districts and so called reformers, unless it is solely related to the Common Core, PARCC, SGO’s (in NJ at least), or a teacher/principal evaluation tool. Now more than ever leaders need to take control of their learning.

I knew that I had to talk with Shelly Sanchez Terrell again when I learned through the tweetvine that she had a new book out about mobile learning ( Learning to Go: Lesson Ideas for Teaching with Mobile Devices, Cell Phones, and BYOT ). I’ve learned a great deal from her. In retrospect, this was my failure.

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. Back then I felt that being a tech savvy administrator just consisted of purchasing the tools for my staff and letting them use them as they felt fit.

because teaching is no longer an isolated profession; it’s a dynamic and interconnected field requiring teachers to work collaboratively and build expansive professional and personal learning networks. It’s a conduit for staying abreast of the latest educational trends, resources, and technologies.
