 This is not a
presentation.

This is a conversation.
 Our group code is
ihodk6

Post questions, ideas,

responses and
resources.
Why do we need a
network?
People give continually,
resources give once.
Email is not a network.
Discussion doesn’t just happen.

It must be cultivated.
Community requires a space.
Why does it need to be
social?
Learning is a social process.
 Personal and Professional
lines are teacher-created*.

*They still need to be drawn, but we need to know when

they don’t apply.
Literacy is knowing how to
tell and understand stories.
Differentiation is done
by listening.
What is worth sharing?
Captured Learning
Reflected Practice
 Action Research*

*Anything going on in a classroom is Action Research.

Aggregated Resources
 How are we modeling
learning in the network?

(How do we let students own it?

Student-Generated Spaces
Change-Directed
Curriculum
Remix and Reuse
Continuing the
Conversation
 We need a Social
Network in our schools.
