I've started reading your book and blogging about it on my <a href="http://etsreflectingpool.blogspot.com">blog</a>. I just finished chapter 2 and I found that it challenged my ideas of a PLC. My school district started the PLC approach a few years ago and have built in early outs each week so teachers can collaborate. Unfortunately, I had limited my idea of a PLC to the teachers that are around me on a daily basis. After reading Chapter 2, I realized that a PLC doesn't have to be limited to my…

Unfortunately, I had limited my idea of a PLC to the teachers that are around me on a daily basis. After reading Chapter 2, I realized that a PLC doesn't have to be limited to my district or even neighboring districts. Thanks for helping me grow and challenging my current preceptions.<br />

Project based Learning is the way to go for high school. I use it in my class as much as possible. Recently I found some excellent web sites offering project based resources .....<br />
<br />
1. This is a good site to cover the basics and includes a handbook: <a href="http://www.bie.org/index.php/site/PBL/overview_pbl/">http://www.bie.org/index.php/site/PBL/overview_pbl/</a><br />
2. At this iste you can view other projects or create your own:…

I'm a firm believer we need more project based learning. One other resource is <a href="http://www.usfirst.org/default.aspx">FIRST</a>, which is getting students directly involved in robotics. They never call the work they do project based, but examining the methods and goals it's clear to see why their work is motivating students. One team working in FIRST, <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.04/robot.html">a poor inner city high school in Phoenix</a>, beat MIT n a robotic competition.<br />

Hey Lee:<br />
I'm glad you are finding the book useful! I'd be curious to hear how you remodel or invent projects in the months ahead. If you'd like any critical feedback or support, let me know. Jane

Hi Jane,<br />
I spotted your new book as soon as it was listed on the ISTE catalog, and pre-ordered it *:-) It arrived a few days ago, and I am fully into chapter 2, after working through the recommended modifications to my thinking (I was trained in traditional teaching methodologies) and the book is helping me to launch into 2008 as a more fully capable and inspired 2.0 educator. Thanks, and I shall continue to allow the work that you and Susie did to help me continue to improve *:-)

Thanks, SKIP! We appreciate the <a href="http://www.blogossary.com/define/link-love/">Link Love</a>.<br />
The environment for learning is changing and I like to reimagine it this way:<br />
Instead of focusing on technology integration, or technology IN context, let's focus on technology AS context. Old "integration" thinking implies an overlay of tech onto traditional practice. Instead, let's transform practice and take advantage of the technology assets to solve authentic challenges.

I am truly lucky/blessed to have a perfect storm in this little petrie dish! Kevin Honeycutt just did a podcast with my students and me yesterday, asking if PBL is ready for primetime. I'm afraid the interview was at the end of the day but it did give a glimpse into our world, through the kids' eyes.<br />

Once he uploads it, <a href="http://kevinhoneycutt.org/">you can find it here</a>, as part of his series, Driving Questions.
