21st Century Learning

John Schinker from EdTechWeekly fame joined Alex and Vinnie this week. 
We discussed John's background, 21st Century Skills, and technology
professional development in his school district.

Elizabeth Helfant shared her amazing story of the MICDS first year
tablet program roll out.  This is an great discussion of the right way
to implement laptop learning in a school.  They started with teachers
and curriculum designers asking for more technology because the
curriculum had evolved to need the support.  If you've wondered about 1
to 1, this is must listen audio!

This week, we discussed the crazy start of our year, how we're coping with the work load, why we're so busy, and how schools can create such wonderful momentum and enthuiasm for technology.  

21CL #76: Arvind and I discussed our goals for this year, projects we are working
on, and where we see the webcast going.  A 20 minute getting back to
webcasting webcast!  Hopefully the cobwebs will be gone next week!
