Hilary Goldmann of ISTE has setup a survey asking you about the details of your districts ARRA spending with the intention of sharing this back with you and eventually the Obama Administration. The point is to let the administration know that these funds have been used effectively in the short term, but that more will be needed, probably in the form of <a href="http://www.iste-community.org/profiles/blogs/presidents-budget-drastically">EETT Funds</a> which have regrettably been cut.<br />

SHOULD SCHOOLS SACRIFICE CLASS TIME FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-05-12:649749:Topic:3410892009-05-12T22:01:31.739ZJoseph Corbetthttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JosephCorbett
ISTE would like your opinion on schools sacrificing class time for professional development. Experience in front of a classroom is obviously crucial to becoming an effective educator, but adopting emerging educational technologies and learning other classroom skills frequently demand that educators take time off from work to attend seminars, webinars, networking sessions and sabbaticals.

<b>Calling all brains</b><br />
<br />
This site has been a significant part of my PLN for just over a year. I’m asking for your help. If you could pick anyone, anything, or anyplace, What books would you read? What conferences, workshops, or meetings would you attend? Who would you travel to meet with? Who would you fly in to sit at the table with you? Who would you pick to help you in your strategic brainstorming or planning? Who could help inject progressive, innovative ideas about the future of…

What conferences, workshops, or meetings would you attend? Who would you travel to meet with? Who would you fly in to sit at the table with you? Who would you pick to help you in your strategic brainstorming or planning? Who could help inject progressive, innovative ideas about the future of education and the technologies that will drive it? Anyone. Yes, I am serious.<br />

<b>Why should you care?</b><br />
<br />
I don’t know if I can say why you should care about a project in Missouri. However, I do believe I know why you will. Because you are a bunch of committed, forward-thinking educators. Folks like us know the power of buy-in at all levels of implementation. Here’s betting that the readers of this blog realize the power potential of solid know-how combined with administrative support.<br />
<br />
Please help. I could submit my own recommendations. I essentially do that quite regularly behind the driver’s seat of this blog. The articles I write examine interesting avenues and advocate passionate positions. My blogroll is a list of folks I rely on for new learning. I have a set of books on my shelf that were important to me, but really… the elements of my learning network allow it to be a dynamic, hyper-responsive, thing. There is even a pretty good chance you came here from the Twitterverse- and that has become a frighteningly good resources as of late.<br />
<br />
PLEASE reply with comments <a href="http://nashworld.edublogs.org/2009/02/13/trolling-my-pln-for-edtech-vision/"><b>here on the main post as well</b></a>, as this will be forwarded throughout my district in a day or so.<br />

I would like to put together a panel for NECC next summer about "Long Tail Learners". I'm looking for educators who want to share their experience with technologies that help them personalize and socialize learning. How do you help or encourage students who share an excitement about a topic find each other and motivate each other? How do you connect to other classrooms? Connect with other teachers? Find learning and teaching niches and expand them?<br />

Let's create an exciting panel for NECC!

Hello! If you are reading this, you have probably read one of my other posts explaining that my company will be giving away a student technology assessment based on the NETS-S at NECC - for FREE!<br />
<br />
I have had an overwhelming response from districts who are very excited - as this is not just a drawing, it is for every district at NECC that signs up.<br />

<br />
I have received many messages and emails so I wanted to provide additional information. I even signed up for a spot at NECC Unplugged so I could tell people more about it! So I hope you come by and listen or at least say hello!<br />
<br />
I will be giving a Speed Demo (5 mins) about the assessment at 10:14 at NECC Unplugged. It is held in the Blogger's Cafe Level Two - Near room 208.<br />
<br />
I also made a website specifically for the assessment (using Drupal! Super cool tool if you need an open source web dev tool)<br />
<br />

Thanks for the support! In case you didn't know, the support I received on here and Twitter helped me convince my boss to let me give it away for FREE at NECC!
