Day with George Couros

Had a great day with a phenomenal speaker on using social media to create meaningful and authentic learning experiences for students and using the web to make global connections.

Great start with a videoclip "Be more dog"

Some great and provocative quotes too
 - Help move people from their point A to their point B
- At the end of the day, kids should leave dead tired - not the teachers!!

Started my own twitter account (:-)

in order to make connections with other educators around the world, revised Blogger and started to think how can I use these in the classroom. Why have students write in books where the only audience is the teachers - Why can't students Blog to an authentic audience about their amazing work and have others comment. Food for thought!
