| coolcatteacher | Getting ready to have dinner w/ Julie Lindsay - working on k12 keynote expanding boundaries. How do you think ed should expand its boundari |
| khokanson | thinks | in order for students to see more relevance in their education it needs to be more relative to their world |
| andreablanco | says | I agree! The more authentic, the better. That's why PBL and inquiry based works so well. |
| brueckj23 | feels | students need to have a voice in deciding where their learning should go and teachers should find a way to relate that back to the standards |
| the TIRED guy | says | I agree with all of the above. Also, schools need to stop thinking that blocking sites will keep them from having to teach net safety. |
| elainej | thinks | good teaching will naturally incorporate standards. Focus less on standards and more on connecting to the world in which we live. |
| elainej | thinks | Even better (maybe), focus on the world in which we could live. |
| GingerLewman | stop tracking kids by age. Allow more flexibility in time spent there. No, actually, STOP using Carnegie units and stop handing out tenure! |
| Yurkwi | shares | I did a SMART training in a district today that had so much blocked I am concerned about the web 2.0 training in a few weeks. |
| elainej | thinks | one of the most significant deficits is the disconnect in teacher education programs. |
| brueckj23 | says | I agree with GingerTPLC and tenure! Eliminating unions would be an other suggestion. If teachers want to be treated with the same respect as |
| khokanson | agrees with peregrinator and not just teacher ed programs / admin programs. Listen to chrislehmann if the leaders don't get it.... |
| the TIRED guy | says | yurkwi, my current district actually gives trainings on how to use services that the next district over actively blocks. |
| Yurkwi | thinks | its crazy that they are paying me well to come inservice on things that they won't allow people to use! |
| elainej | says | i attended that session and EduBloggerCon and felt like a bobblehead I was nodding so much. |
| brueckj23 | says | doctors and lawyers, they should form their own peer governing bodies to grant licenses |
| nhill | says | to expand the boundaries we need help making connections, where to get started. Tools no problem, inspiring learning? |
| nhill | says | would love to see more knowledgable students mentoring others like many other educators help me!  |
| techtiger | says | it is amazing that most of the time the blocking decision is left to 1 or 2 people w/o input from teachers. |
| coolcatteacher | says | Great feedback. 4 me it is: embedded pd not binge pd, people 2 help teachers implement technology |
| coolcatteacher | says | and an ethos of kindness to beginners, which I think we are all working on. |
