Hi Kieran

Glad you find the topic interesting. I can’t draw either, so having a variety of comic and cartoon tools to hand has been very useful. I will be showing quite a few of my cartoons with ideas for how I have used them in lessons.

There will be a video recording of the session, and I believe it will be embeddable, so watch this space

Best wishes

Janet

Ofelia, you registered to be a member of the RSCON community, which is great. But all the RSCON3 sessions are free and open to the public and you don’t need to be a member.

You can look at the schedule of presentations here and get the link information to attend sessions you are interested in. Good luck and enjoy!

My #RSCON3 Presentation: “What the heck is a PLN?” – Personal Learning Networks for Educators

Are you a new teacher, feeling isolated and alone? Are you an experienced teacher looking for new ideas and inspiration?

Interested in sharing ideas and collaborating with other teachers on global projects? Tired of falling asleep in boring professional learning seminars?

Heard about Personal Learning Networks or PLNs? Feeling lost, confused, wondering where to start?

Then please, join me at #RSCON3, as I:

* Share my ‘new teacher’ PLN story, and explain “What the heck is a PLN?”
* Explore the technologies which underpin my global connections
* Explore some of the global projects and learning made possible by my PLN;
* Facilitate a global discussion about how PLNs have influenced teachers’ professional practice around the world.

This is an opportunity for new and experienced teachers alike to learn, share, and connect.

I’d love to see you there!

Comment on Greta Sandler: Creating Safe Learning Environments by Regina Sawyer

Regina Sawyer — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 15:30:59 +0000

I am an EDM 310 student from the University of South Alabama. I have been absent from the teaching profession for many years. However, I am eager to return to the classroom. I was inspired after viewing your presentation on Creating A Safe Learning Environment. I agree that a safe learning environment is an essential component before learning can take place. I particularly liked your comment, If one succeeds, we all succeed. I believe that this commend would be a great mission statement for education. I also agree and believe that parent involvement is another vital aspect that cannot be eliminated from the learning process.

Dear Marisa,

About two years ago, I was strongly reluctant to get a FBK or Twitter account because I disagreed with many people on exposing their personal life.

Last year I timidly decided to start twittering. Great decision! I gradually moved toward becoming a Networked Teacher. It was the start point of an awesome PLN I’ve been constructing up today.

I contacted inspiring, innovative, reflective, and extraordinary language educators such as @shellterrel @Marisa_C kalinagoenglish @dudeneyge @TeacherDixie @hoprea @nharm @TheEngTeacher @burcuakyoll @russell1955 @Larryferlazzo @sjhannam @barbsaka @nelliemuller @icpjones @tonnet @rmbyrne @coolcatteacher @ddeubel @carldowse @englishraven @tomwhitby @bnleez @esolcourses @SeanBanville @NikPeachey @EveWeb and many other EFL, ESL, Web professionals that I’m very grateful to have been part of their professional development.

As a result of twittering, I currently keep a FBK account for academic issues, mainly.

Hope to meet them in person some day.

Multipurpose Blogging
Teaching AND engaging parents at the same time!

How could you use a class blog for your kids to learn (i.e. writing, editing, thoughtful feedback, etc…) and share some of what happens in the class to engage parents (who like to hear about their kids – what they’re doing)at the same time?

It could be a win-win!
1) When parents feel like they know what’s going on with their kids, they trust the teacher more, which often translates into parents supporting the teacher more and less friction/fear – so teachers can be more confident in their efforts towards change!
2) Teachers don’t have to MORE work to try to build relationships with parents – it’s an outcome of the sharing (via blog)!

But how to set up? Manage? Coordinate students? Could it be an end of day question to students, rotating through who writes each day? (i.e. What’s the favorite thing I learned today? Who did I help today? What am I grateful for today? What I look forward to is…)

I would like to piggy back on Greg’s suggestion, “The Power of Reflective Thought” but with a different focus. I’d like to learn more about facilitating student reflection as a part of the learning process – learning about themselves as learners.

I’m interested in project-based learning and I’d love to hear Sue’s ideas for using student blogs as an embedded part of the learning process to help students self-assess and to provide structured feedback and support to each other as they develop their projects.

Personal learning networks would be my 1st choice. Though I also would like to hear about your workflow as well.(mentioned above)
I am a librarian in a small, private school with a 1:1 program where outside professional development is not required/ expected. I , however, am always trying to keep up/ get ahead of the changes in tech and educational approaches hoping to learn and share them with others. I use twitter and the ning as my major social network. Facebook is not working well for me-so I only infrequently use it. How are you effectively using a PLN and with whom? What suggestions do you have for others. Thanks.

Title: Beyond Blogging, Blogging Beyond

Topic is similar to Marisa’s and Ashley’s, I suppose, but more subject/content specific (maybe 11+ age group):

1. Setting up & using a class blog to discuss subject/project content
2. Ways for teachers and students to work together to create a digital footprint of their studies for future students/teachers
3. Connecting/sharing content with other schools/classes/countries

Title idea comes from:
beyond blogging = blogs as a (subject/expert) resource for the future
blogging beyond = beyond the limits of the classroom and ‘normal’ blogs

Whatever you choose, Sue, I’m sure it’ll be great, and I look forward to it

PLN, initially i could not understand what it meant because people who talk about it just give short descriptions or just mention it.

For me, this would be the most helpful. For someone new in technology integration, this would be a great way for us to learn from others.

Teaching someone to create a PLN would not only help us learn but also open our doors to other views and what the world can offer.

What process, what tools and what type of model for engagement? e.g. can you do it with a blog? could you do it with an email list? or would you advocate an online space that has other functions and tools.

Is there a way to combine the blogging for teachers with Blogging with students into one mega-topic? Perhaps there is some crossover with these subjects as it is. I also agree with Lisa’s ideas on blogging… but am interested (as a newbie) with how to most effectively blog with students. Particularly high schoolers…is there a way to manage/host them all as individual blogs? Or is having a class blog better? Pros and cons of each? Best host sites to use for educators? I’m also interested in my students being able to connect with other students on a global level…can that be done with blogs? Lots of questions here, but I’m sure whatever topic you present will be informative and practical for use in the classroom.

I’m terrible with titles…but maybe “Blogs as Reflective and Responsive Assessment”?
