notes


 * Change from the world of "being instructed" to "building learning opportunities"
 * Bring together your own expert team; a personal learning team / community
 * Mirrors the skills we want our students to develop
 * **Theme 1.** Boundaries have changed / are disappearing
 * **Theme 2.** Collaborative learning is being facilitated by amazing technologies
 * **Theme 3.** Overwhelming content - > become a content creator
 * You (and the ed tech "cloud") are going to be my professional development network today. We're going to model PD 2.0.
 * Twitter your network for favorite resources, copy and put into, then post to the chat room
 * Add to the wiki
 * What kind of a twitter demo? Show how it can actually work and be helpful? put out a call, model showing how to do this.
 * Ask people to contribute actual programs they like for PD, do a poll? Favorite resources. Have someone copy and put into wiki? Instantly building a resource of fascinating material.
 * Or ask them to contribute to wiki?
 * Ask audience to put in chat and we'll put the chat log into wiki after session
 * Twitter out that I'm asking for this, or ask others in the audience to twitter themselves and we'll aggregate a list from all their responses. They twitter, get responses, add to Google document with resources
 * Some of the tools you can use
 * RSS. first thing--increase exposure to ideas and flow of information. 1. RSS feed of bloggers that you like or news stories. 2. Aggregate feeds or use reader 3. Sign up for twitter and start following people.
 * While I do this, I want you who have your computers to either add your favorite tools to the Google Doc or put them in the chat. If you are really savvy, use twitter to tweet out to your readers and ask what their favorite PD web tools are. Then take the answers and paste them in!
 * RSS and aggregators: "Step 1 in taming this beast is fully harnessing RSS to your personal service. Wherever and whenever possible, information has to come to you, so you don’t waste time finding and going to //it//. RSS does this for you." Start pages. The tools I use

 * Social networking also a beginning technology
 * Back-channel chatting
 * Feeling bold?
 * Collaborative or "unconferences" (link to CR 2.0 workshops, my blog post). Talk about things we did in SF and things we wanted to do, and cover them as ideas.
