PMS Technology

For a list of the online resources specifically mentioned in today’s presentation, please click here. The “Wordle” application has not been working recently, so I have included several online applications that do the same thing.

For a list of other online resources I have acquired through my PLN, please click here. This list is quite extensive and not very well organized (one of my weak points). If the site description is not self-explanatory in the title, I have added a brief description. Some of these are fun, some more practical than others.

I have also collected a great set of resources regarding Twitter. I urge you to give these a look. It has really changed my life as an educator.

Take the rest of the day to search and explore the possibilities. Try to pick one thing and make it fit into something you are doing.

Please take a moment before you leave to comment on the day. You don’t need to do this before 4pm today, as the site is accessible whenever and where ever you have internent access. You are not chained down to this time and place. Let’s start a conversation around the pros and cons of integrating more technology. What are you excited about? What might some drawbacks be? How can we strive to overcome those drawbacks? How can we support one another in this endeavor? What can I do to help you personally? This is open ended. Just join the conversation!!

PLEASE BE SURE TO COMMENT ON THIS POST, NOT THE ONE FROM AUGUST (WITH THE STICKY NOTE).

What does the picture suggest?

Good afternoon everybody. Before we really get started here today, please take a moment to consider the picture on the left (you can enlarge it by clicking on it). What do you think it is? What might it mean? Does it make sense at all? Make some predictions and comment your responses below.

Once everyone has commented (you should be able to see the responses both up in front of the room and, if you refresh your browser, on your screen), and we have had an actual discussion with our voices, please read this short, yet hopefully stimulating, article. When you are finished reading/exploring, please comment at the bottom of that page.
