Joel Malley @joelmalley and Jennifer Woollven @mswoollven join us on this episode of TTT, the first of a series of episodes this Spring where we'll be discussing Connected Learning and our OLE (Online Learning Experience) sponsored by the National Writing Project http://connect.nwp.org/online-learning-connected-learning. (Anybody can join the OLE. Just email Joel.)
We are gathered here to explore the framework of connected learning. We will explore the connected learning framework, seek real world examples of the principles in action and ultimately explore how we might transform our own classrooms to make student learning increasingly connected in a way that best fits our own curriculum and student needs.
We invite you to join these conversations at the Connected Learning Inquiry Group and here on Teachers Teaching Teachers over the next several weeks.
On this episode of TTT, we are joined by:
Lacy Manship, Jon Barilone, Leah Jensen, Joel Malley, Evonne Heyning, Anna Smith, Jennifer Woollven
After listening to this first episode in this series on Connected Learning, we hope you will be inspired to join our special guest, Stephen Ritz on TTT#338, this Wednesday, February 27th at 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: http://goo.gl/Xwhg0
Check him out here, and join our conversation with this connected teacher from the South Bronx on Wednesday!
And stay tuned! We are live every Wednesday at Teachers Teaching Teachers.
After we read and discuss Will Richardson's Book Why School? on the Connected Learning Inquiry Group site, Richardson will be joining us on TTT on March 27 at 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: http://goo.gl/TLFP7 at http://edtechtalk.com/ttt .
Enjoy this episode of TTT, and plan to connect with us all Spring!

21:04Jordan: Hi everyone! Jordan Lusink from the NWP.
21:04Christina: Hi Peggy!
21:04Peggy George: Hi Jon! Welcome!
21:05Christina: Hi everyone!
21:06karen (@kfasimpaur): I really wanted to do this OLE group,...but #spanishmooc and the Media Lab group have me overwhelmed right now. :(
21:06Peggy George: great title! social scholarship :-)
21:10Christina: Lacy has these great drawings/writings behind her!
21:10Peggy George: Hi Lacy! Great to meet you!
21:12JonBarilone: Hi, Anna & Evonne. Nice to see some new friends in here. :)
21:12Peggy George: Love the artwork on the wall for Lacy :-)
21:12Anna (@writerswriting): I thought I would pop in to see faces and hear voices!
21:13JonBarilone: That concept of school as being just one "node" on a network of learning.
21:13karen (@kfasimpaur): Hi, Anna.
21:14Christina: Nice to see you Anna!
21:14unnamed: @peggy artwork from "Luke's Museum"
21:14Christina: Great to hear everyone's stories ...
21:14Christina: @lacy excellent!
21:14Peggy George: pretty exciting to be 2 steps ahead and not 2 steps behind!
21:15Peggy George: where are all of you located? both Karen and I are in AZ.
21:17karen (@kfasimpaur): Peggy, do you know Neil Manzenberger?
21:23karen (@kfasimpaur): I like the link between connected learning and equity. That's a big idea.
21:23Christina: I think it's a return to Dewey, with digital media and networked environments!
21:24Christina: I also think it's not "personalized learning" ... or in the way that is often used. But then again, this is the bee in my bonnet these days :)
21:24Christina: I agree with Anna ... making and production is a key part.
21:24karen (@kfasimpaur): @christina Interesting. I'd like to hear your thoughts on "personalized learning."
21:25karen (@kfasimpaur): Lately, I'm hearing "personalized learning" to mean student choice and self direction.
21:25Christina: @karen I'm currently worried about it.
21:31karen (@kfasimpaur): Thx. I have the infographic. I was looking for a link to the mobile maker thing.
21:32karen (@kfasimpaur): (kit for schools, etc.)....I'm working on something similar.
21:32Christina: and his student Chappelle. I thought their contributions were incredibly important.
21:32Anna (@writerswriting): Ah. Evonne wrote this:
21:32Anna (@writerswriting): Evonne Heyning 9:27 PM The mobile lab is from a group called ID8, an amazing mix of social entrepreneurs mostly based in San Francisco. The digital interface platform we're designing is @eddefypath for learning any skill at any time. Mobility + connected learning.
21:35Chris Sloan: Ellis can't help but advocating now
21:35Peggy George: for sure :-)
21:36Peggy George: the transparency of the web!
21:37karen (@kfasimpaur): I'm a big (paper) letter writer.
21:38Jordan: Me too Karen!
21:38Jordan: Who doesn't love getting a letter in the mail?
21:38Peggy George: I'm not Karen. My handwriting has gotten really bad! Old age :-(
21:38karen (@kfasimpaur): :)
21:39karen (@kfasimpaur): If anyone is interested, we're starting an online group where students are writing grants to fund community service projects.
21:39Chris Sloan: Yes, we still write letters. It's a powerful medium because it's so underused
21:39karen (@kfasimpaur): Could be connected to civic engagement projects.
21:40karen (@kfasimpaur): This sounds like some of Paul's students' work on Youth Voices too.
21:40Christina: I was thinking that too ... those students should hook up!
21:40karen (@kfasimpaur): yes!
21:42Peggy George: fantastic! always love to hear from Will!
21:55karen (@kfasimpaur): Crocdocs = pdf annotation
21:56karen (@kfasimpaur): Gooru = open content search + aggregation. I think Paul is using it mostly to curate content w/students
21:56Christina: Here's what I've been watching Felicia and Paul owrk on:http://www.goorulearning.org/gooru/index.g#!/collection/68ab3c0a-e647-4489-930d-a1e473cc7042/play/f1484498-944c-425f-9c95-1cc9169934c7
21:56Peggy George: that's not the right quote :-) build it and people may not come...
21:56Christina: All of these are great exammples of Connected Learning!
21:57Christina: Just saying :) ... What great cases to study.
21:58Peggy George: definitely Christina
22:00Christina: yay! student work.
22:00Christina: Christina Puntel has been working on the "descriptive review" process here in philly ...
22:01Christina: ... to further support online/multimedia. I'm trying to get her to share it. Just fyi.
22:01Christina: yes yes yes!!!
22:01Christina: :)
22:02Peggy George: lots of exciting ideas being shared!
22:05karen (@kfasimpaur): Thanks for the great convo tonight, everyone. See you again soon!
22:05Christina: @chris Pat Carini inspired descriptive review process
22:06Christina: a group of teachers have used it here for years
22:06Peggy George: he descriptive review process asks teacher to look together at pieces of student work, to discuss what they see in the work, and to bring multiple perspectives to an analysis of the work in order to improve the quality of the work designed for students.
22:06Christina: and we used it during the 2009 Digital Is conference if you remember ...
