[CPSLibraries] Reminder: David Warlick in Second Life - 12/16

[Perez, Lisa E]

Dear CPS Librarians: 

 

Reminder! Talk with David Warlick from the convenience of your own home!
Attend the December CPS - AASL - ISTE SIGMS learning community meeting
on Tues, Dec 16 at 7pm Chicago time in Second Life.  David will
facilitate a discussion about "Cultivating a Personal Learning Network".


To attend:  Log into Second Life about fifteen minutes early.  Teleport
to ISTE Island #3 at
http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island%203/119/232/29 or IM Elaine
Tulip for a TP.  This is a voice/chat hybrid event, so plan to use a
headset to hear David speak.  Edit your preferences to enable voice.

David Warlick, a 30 year educator, has been a classroom teacher,
district administrator, and staff consultant with the North Carolina
State Department of Public Instruction. For the past ten years, Mr.
Warlick has operated The Landmark Project, a consulting, and innovations
firm in Raleigh, North Carolina. His web site, Landmarks for Schools,
serves more than a half-million visits a day with some of the most
popular teacher tools available on the Net. David is also the author of
three books on instructional technology and 21st century literacy, and
has spoken to audiences throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and
South America.

To reflect on and to prepare for the discussion:

We teach in a time of rapid change, when, for the first time in history,
we cannot clearly describe the future for which we are preparing our
children. This is one reason why learning has become a critical part of
what it is to teach.  Attendees will discuss a variety of emerging tools
and techniques that educators are using to form and cultivate their
Personal Learning Networks - connecting themselves to people and
resources that help them do their jobs. Reflect on how to grow your own
connections to information and experiences that help you strengthen your
expertise and remain an engaged member of your profession. Topics will
include blogging as a professional development endeavor, opportunities
for professional jams, virtual staff development events, and harnessing
the magic of RSS to literally train valuable content to find you - to be
a 21st Century Educator.

Thanks,
