What Did You Do in School Yesterday, Today, and Three Years Ago?

My favorite presentation today from K12OnlineConference2008.

“What Did You Do in School Yesterday, Today, and Three Years Ago?”
by:
H Songhai Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Blog: http://songhaiconcepts.blogspot.com/

Ever notice how students seem to have their cell phones and iPods attached to their ears? Songhai approaches the topic of how educators can mentor these students to use these tools not only in class, but also in their personal learning networks and eventually in lifelong learning.

Day 3 - K12Online - recommendation

My recommendation to you from day 3 at K12OnlineConference.org
I found Steven Kimmi's presentation very interesting - and it motivated me to reflect. If you are a teacher (or even thinking about becoming a teacher), you should watch this and think about it.

Blog Block or Priorities

I just can't seem to find the time to regularly blog lately. As I look at my schedule, I wonder if it is really blog-block or a choice to set my priorities. I seem to be getting more and more involved with personal learning - both myself and working with others through professional development to setup their own. K12Online08, NECC applications, MainEducational Conference, Christa McAuliffe Conference are just a few of the venues that I am working with now. There are so many options available to teachers to assist them in their own learning that I feel it very important to try to share what little I know and these conferences seem the best way.

Of course, I depend on others blogs and videos to assist me in this - so, I am feeling guilty for not sharing much on SharonsShare these last months. I will try to be more productive.

I do want to mention a twitter application that has assisted me in organizing those 140 character tweets - Tweetdeck. Watch for a further post on that later this week.
