Conversations

This week, we discussed passion in education. What makes up passion, how is it related to learning, how is it sustained and how is it related to giving/helping others? Lisa was unable to join us today, but will be back next week. We were joined by Alice Barr of SEEDlings. We also discussed the SEED program in Maine, and how it is perpetuating the passion for many.

SEED packets can be found at http://www.actem.org/pages/Actem_Seed/index

Catch SEEDlings at edtechtalk.com on Thursdays at 7:30 - 8:30 pm EST.

This week, Lisa Parisi, Maria Knee and Sheila Adams talked about parents not allowing permission for their child's work on the internet. Why does this happen and what can we do to make permission more of the norm?

*Note - The audio clip is only 30 minutes long due to a technical error. Ustream below has the whole show. Will try to get all the audio available soon.

Today's Conversation with Maria and Lisa was about parent teacher conferences. Once again, Ginger Lewman joined us. She has been thinking about making changes to the approach her school takes to conferencing with parents. We hope to have Sheila back with us next week.
