No mains gas, no telephones, no mobile signal, no internet connection, no possible way to interact with my personal learning network (PLN). Tucked away in the Cornish countryside the location of the cottage we are staying in provokes vocabulary such as: isolated, severed, detached and remote. But similar rhetoric could also be applied to the lack of connection I have with my network. I am removed from the network I want to reflect upon and away from the classroom that it can impact. This perspective is welcome as it offers me clarity of thought, as I write, that I have not had for a long time. In this post I hope to unpick what my Twitter network means to me in terms of my classroom practise and explore the best ways that you can utilise it in your own classroom. aseldow Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:00:17 +0000 twitter social networking teaching and learning ict classroom http://boston.k12.ma.us/teach/Dimensions.pdf The Dimensions of Effective Teaching reflect the shared vision of the Boston Public Schools that is critical to creating school cultures characterized by high expectations for achievement, equal access to high levels of instruction, the achievement of academic proficiency for all students, and the closing of the achievement gap among subgroups within the schools.

This is true from multiple levels from the student to the classroom teacher to the district office. Teaching and learning is truly an ecosystem – in constant refinement, adjustment, reflection and assessment based upon interactions with every aspect of the system.

While early object-oriented programming environments such as Smalltalk were originally intended for children, the reality of programming never quite lived up to the simplicity of the LEGO model. That has all changed now with Scratch, a project developed by Mitchel Resnick and his associates at MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten research group. aseldow Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:32:47 +0000 scratch mit resnick programming legos computer science k-12 teaching and learning
