Great day at T+L. I learned a lot. Folks from McRel provided very interesting questions to be posed when considering how integrated technology is into the teaching and learning system and provided a whole new framework for me when considering how to do a good analysis of whatever it is you’re studying in a school.
Had some new personal insights into how to use the wonderful tools provided through PD 360 when using the Joyce and Showers model of professional development and had a great conversation with the rep of the company. The PD 360 is a terrific vehicle through which to provide the theory and demonstration components in a good professional development model, which are often the costliest parts of an effort.
And Paul Saffo’s remarks about kids posting on their resumes that they”re masters in a video game being evidence they can manage a budget, move people in the right direction, etc. made me want to try that video game and also gave me a whole new perspective on gaming. I need to get out more often! The world is changing and I am seeing huge evidence of that right here. Probably the biggest learning of all.
