Read through a great post from David Warlick about his reflections from a presentation by Larry Lezotte . David's reflection lead him three very important points of advice for teachers on how to de-containerize their teaching and learning using their network:
As I read and reflect upon having just completed 12 weeks of student teaching and a research project about the integration of wiki in my AP Economics class; I am very excited about getting into the educational media program.
- Know that you are a learner — it’s at the heart of being a teacher.
- Cultivate your own networked classroom and acknowledge that it is perpetually beta.
- Talk about your network with your students and provoke them to talk about theirs.
If all works as I dream it will, I will be working in the curriculum technology center this fall. From that post I can help preservice teachers grow their personal learning networks, and expand their visions of technology in the classroom. While preparing to be a school library media specialist.
Even if it isn't my job, I feel the power of Web 2.0 in education and plan to continue to help teachers see the light.
P.S.
