Connecting Within and Beyond

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 29 Agustus 2012 0 komentar

The other day I had a discussion with Colleen Tambuscio, one of my teachers, where she was actively sharing some of the innovative ideas she planned to implement during the upcoming school year.  Colleen is the architect of our globally recognized Holocaust Education Program.  During our conversation, she shared with me her experience with Today’s Meet at a recent professional development program hosted by the Shoah Foundation in California.  In a nutshell, Today’s Meet was used as a live backchannel throughout the program and the entire conversation was archived for reference.  Now I had heard of this tool in the past, but had never used it up to this point.



Colleen was so excited about the potential of this tool at New Milford High School that she asked if I could create a room for our staff to collaborate, ask/answer questions, to provide each other support, as well as share resources, professional development opportunities, ideas, and student work.  I did so right away and in minutes I had created a room that will be open for a year.  It is our hope that Today’s Meet will further build collegiality through connected learning while being a catalyst for innovation, support, and dialogue focused on improving the teaching and learning process.    

This conversation couldn’t have come at a better time.  A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the importance of connected learning.  In that post, George Couros asked me what I was going to do to empower my staff to be more actively involved in meaningful sharing and connecting with educators outside my school.  It is my hope that integrating this simple tool to enhance connections within our own building will expose my staff to the many possibilities and benefits of not just connecting within, but also beyond.  I can assure George that I will be gently pushing for greater connections beyond once my staff becomes more comfortable interacting in a more or less open environment. 

How do you encourage connected learning in your schools?  What strategies have you found successful to empower educators to share and connect with their peers beyond school walls?

A Science Resource for Principals

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 22 Agustus 2012 0 komentar
I am extremely excited that my second book is now available through Solution Tree entitled What Principals Need to Know About Teaching and Learning Science.  It was a great deal of fun co-authoring this book with Keith Devereaux, one of my Science teachers at New Milford High School.  It is our hope that this book becomes the go to resource for principals looking to establish and maintain effective science programs that focus on doing science as opposed to just knowing.  Principals will not only find the latest research on effective science instruction, but also tips for integrating technology, purchasing materials, assessment, and establishing safe lab environments.



As noted on the back over of the book, science awakens creativity and reveals to students an exciting world of innovation and exploration.  It also provides the ideal platform from which to teach learners the engagement skills they will need as we move further into the 21st Century.  The book will guide school leaders through the specific aspects and components of an effective science program: inquiry, curricula, program evaluation, inquiry-based learning, assessment, and professional development.  There are also various reproducibles that come along with this book that principals should find valuable. With this book principals will be able to:

  • Obtain an overreaching knowledge of science as it relates to standards, safety, and instruction
  • Learn key principles to promote science literacy schoolwide
  • Evaluate your science program using practical reproducibles, checklists, assessments, and tools
  • Create and sustain successful teacher teams
  • Learn essential strategies to support teachers in planning lessons
  • Discover how to focus science instruction on questioning and problem solving

The following excerpt was taken from the Solution Tree website:

This accessible resource offers practical strategies for increasing student achievement in science and fostering a school environment that supports the science curriculum. Assess your own science programs, and find tools to evaluate teachers' preparedness for science instruction. With checklists, assessments, and reproducibles that you can share with teachers, parents, and other stakeholders, discover how to improve science instruction and sustain a strong science program.

Although this book is written primarily for a K-8 audience, we feel that it could be a valuable resource for any principal looking to improve the science program at his or her school.

How to reset a frozen iPhone

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 16 Agustus 2012 0 komentar

iPhone sleep wake button 300x204 How to revive a frozen iPhone

So, you’re happily swiping away on your iPhone when all of a sudden, it goes haywire—an app freezes up, the web browser spins and spins, or the screen simply stops responding to your fingertaps. Now what?

Well, you could always just try turning your iPhone on and off by pressing and holding the “sleep/wake” button on its top edge, but in some cases even the sleep button might not work.
Luckily, there’s another way to resuscitate a frozen, glitchy, or otherwise unresponsive iPhone: a so-called “hard” reset, which forces the iPhone to stop whatever it’s doing, shut down, and restart. Think of it as waking your iPhone with a cold bucket of water rather than a gentle nudge—crude, but often effective.
Here’s what you do:
  • Press and hold the “sleep/wake” button (at the top of the iPhone) and the Home button (below the screen) at the same time.
  • Keep holding both buttons until a red slider reading “slide to power off” appears at the top of the screen (it may take a few seconds, so be patient). Instead of swiping the slider, keep on holding those buttons.
  • After a few more seconds, the screen will go dark and the Apple logo will appear. Go ahead and release the buttons.
  • Wait a bit longer, and your iPhone’s home screen should appear again. Phew!

Other tip


This same trick applies to the iPad—just press and hold both the sleep/wake button and the Home key, and you’ll force your iPad to restart.

How to read a Kindle book on the web, no Kindle (or smartphone) required

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Kindle library as viewed on the web 300x193 How to read a Kindle book on the web, no Kindle (or smartphone) required

Wish you could buy and read books from Amazon’s online Kindle store without actually owning a Kindle, tablet, or smartphone? Well, you can—all you need is a computer and a web browser.
Amazon’s web-based Cloud Reader lets you read any Kindle book purchased online or borrowed from your local library.
Cloud Reader works on any PC or Mac; the only requirement is that you must use either Apple’s Safari web browser or Google Chrome—no Internet Explorer, for now.

Don’t have either Safari or Chrome installed on your system? No problem; you can download them here (for Safari) or here (for Chrome), and both browsers are free.
The Cloud Reader also works on the iPad’s web browser, as well; for smartphones, though, you’ll need to download a special Kindle app. (More on that in a moment.)
Ready to crack open a Kindle book in your Web browser? Let’s get started:
  • Launch either Chrome or Safari (or open the iPad’s mobile Safari browser), then visit the Amazon Cloud Reader site at http://read.amazon.com.
  • Click the big yellow “Sign in to get started” button to sign in to your Amazon account—and if you don’t have a free Amazon account yet, go ahead and sign up for one.
  • Next, a window will appear with instructions for setting up your browser to store your Kindle books for “offline” reading, when you don’t have an Internet connection. Again, click the big yellow button and follow the instructions (they vary slightly depending on whether you’re using Safari or Chrome).
  • If you’ve already bought Kindle books before, you’ll see them in a grid in your browser; just click a book cover, and presto—you’re reading.
  • No Kindle books yet? Click the “Kindle Store” Button in the top-right corner of the page to begin shopping.
  • Once you’ve chosen a Kindle book to buy, make sure to select your Kindle Cloud Reader in the “Deliver to” drop-down menu, which sits right below the “Buy” button. And don’t worry, you can always send your purchased book to a new device under your account by selecting “Manage Your Kindle” under the “Your Amazon” menu near the top of the page.
  • As with the physical Kindle e-reader, the online Cloud Reader lets you add bookmarks as you read, and you can also change the font size or background color of the pages.
  • The Cloud Reader will also automatically download the most recently opened books in your Kindle library for when you don’t have an Internet connection (provided you went ahead and enabled the Cloud Reader’s offline reading mode). You can also manually select, or “pin,” a book for offline storage; to do so, just right-click on its cover in the Cloud Reader library.
  • Done reading? Then just close the browser window. And yes—you can always read your Kindle books from another browser or even a different PC or Mac once you log into your account.

How to take a screenshot on your iPhone or iPad

Taking a screenshot on the iPhone How to take a screenshot on your iPhone or iPad
Ever wanted to take a quick snapshot of your iPhone’s display? Or have you taken a screenshot by accident, without quite knowing how you did it?


Well, taking a screenshot on the iPhone (or iPad, or iPod Touch) is a nifty, easy trick—so easy, in fact, that more than a few puzzled readers have written in, wondering how snapshots of their iPhone’s home page wound up in their mobile photo albums.
So, what’s the trick?

Here’s what you do: press the “sleep/wake” button (it’s on the top edge of your iPhone) and the “Home” key (the one below the screen) at the same time, then release both right away.
iPhone camera roll 300x207 How to take a screenshot on your iPhone or iPad
You’ll find your new screenshots sitting in the Camera Roll on the Photos app.

Snap! Your iPhone, iPad, or Touch will make a shutter sound, the screen will flash for an instant, then everything will return to normal.

So, where’s the screenshot? Just open the Camera app, then click on Camera Roll—you’ll find it right there.

One more thing: if you press and hold the sleep/wake button and the Home key for too long, your iPhone will try to reset itself.

In that case, don’t be panic; just press the “Cancel” button when the red “Slide to shut off” slider appears.

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 15 Agustus 2012 0 komentar

I have been engaged with social media for over three and a half years now.  As I often reflect on my journey, I can’t help but think about the early days and months after I first began to use Twitter and some other tools.  There were many times during this early period that I questioned the value of the time I was putting in, or the actual impact any of this was having on teaching, learning, school culture, and leadership.   Add in all of the weird looks and ignorant comments I received, it is a miracle that I made it through the early adoption stage to full, blown-out social media fanatic. 

Image credit: http://www.netstrategies.com/blog/social-media/use-social-media-to-cross-promote

Obviously I stuck with it and my life as a principal has never been the same.  Social media has become embedded in virtually all facets of my professional practice as an educational leader.  It is so gratifying to see more educators locally, nationally, and globally begin to experience what social media has to offer on a professional level.  However, as much as I and others tout the many ways in which social media can improve communications, form a foundation for positive public relations, increase student engagement, enhance the teaching and learning process, discover opportunity, and lead to authentic pathways to grow professionally, I still find that many educators are skeptical about embracing this dynamic, multi-dimensional tool. 

At this point in my career, I cannot picture performing my duties as a Principal without social media playing some sort of role.  I truly believe that it has made me a more effective school leader by enhancing a variety of skill sets essential to the position.  The network of colleagues and friends I have developed has now become priceless.  As we prepare to begin another school year, it is important that we reflect on the impact social media has had and all make a commitment to encouraging, supporting, and modeling its effective use amongst our staff, stakeholders, and other educators.  I already know that this is tops on my agenda when we start up school again in September. 

It is my hope that this post will serve as a catalyst for a greater discussion on how we can empower more educators to embrace social media, become connected, and utilize this tool to help do what they do more effective.  In recent weeks and months I have seen a dramatic rise of educators in my home state of New Jersey who have embraced social media as a legitimate professional tool.  I have also been proud to witness the evolution of the #NJED hash tag and #SatChat.  On this Leadership Day 2012 I would like to remind all school leaders and educators that it is never too late to jump on the bandwagon.

Voice of the Active Learner

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 09 Agustus 2012 0 komentar
I was recently sent this video that puts into perspective the new type of learner that is entering our schools.  The problem, however, is that the majority of schools across this country and beyond are doing very little to meet his/her diverse learning needs.  Times are different and thus learners are different.  Isn't it about time that schools focus more on the learning needs of our students as opposed to preparing them to bubble in answers on tests or ensuring that they follow orders? Let's listen to what our students are trying to tell us in order to make learning relevant, meaningful, and applicable in a new age.


This process begins with educators making a concerted effort to become active learners themselves.

Google tip: Got a smartphone or tablet? Try handwriting for your next search

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar
Ever feel the urge to skip the on-screen keypad on your iPhone or Android handset and just scribble words with your fingertip? If so, now’s your chance, courtesy of Google search.

Google recently launched a intriguing new feature that lets you write out search queries on touchscreen phones and tablets, including Android handsets and Apple’s iOS devices.
Once you activate the feature, you can start tracing letters and words anywhere the main Google search page. As you do, Google will analyze your scrawls and start plugging words into the search box.

Google handwriting using a stylus 300x172 Google tip: Got a smartphone or tablet? Try handwriting for your next search
Rather not trace words with your finger? Try a stylus instead.

You can write both upper- and lowercase letters, as well as symbols such as “@,” “&,” “$” and “—”. Cursive isn’t recommended, but Google managed to do a decent job at interpreting my (admittedly shaky) cursive script.

As you’re writing, you’ll see a row of buttons at the bottom of the screen, including a help button, a space bar, a backspace button, and a button marked “G” that toggles the handwriting feature on and off.
You can also call up the keyboard at any time by tapping inside the Google search box.
Here’s how to turn Google’s handwriting feature on:
  • Visit the main Google home page, then tap the Settings link near the bottom of the page on your smartphone. Using a tablet? Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page, the tap “Search settings.”
  • Scroll down to the “Handwrite” section, then tap “Enable.”
  • Tap the blue Save button at the very bottom of the page.
Had your fill of Google handwriting? Just go back to the Google search settings and switch Handwrite back to “Disable.”

Other tip


Not a fan of tracing letters with your finger? Well, you could always try a touchscreen-friendly stylus, which worked pretty well for me on a smaller smartphone screen.

3 ways to fix a crashy iPhone app 3 ways to fix a crashy iPhone (or iPad) appGot an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch application that’s giving you fits because it keeps quitting unexpectedly? Believe me, I know the feeling.
So, what’s the deal? Well, there’s always the chance that something’s fundamentally wrong with the glitchy app, in which case you’ll just have to wait for its developer to release a bug fix.
But there’s also the possibility that the app—or your iDevice, for that matter—just needs a little kick in the pants to get everything running smoothly again.
Try this trio of quick, easy remedies before going another day without your favorite application.

Quit the app and launch it again

If you’ve got an app that’s freezing up or otherwise causing you trouble, sometimes it’s best to simply quit, clear the app’s “process” out of your iPhone’s memory, and start fresh.
Crashing iPhone apps 2 200x300 3 ways to fix a crashy iPhone (or iPad) app
Just tap the little red circle with the minus sign to quit an app and clear it from your iPhone's memory.
  • Start by pressing the Home key to return to your iPhone’s home screen (these instructions will also work for the iPad and iPod Touch, by the way), then double-click the Home key; the home screen will slide up, revealing a row of application icons.
  • Swipe the row with your fingertip until you find the app that’s acting funny, then press and hold the icon until it starts wiggling and a little red circle with a minus sign appears. Tap the red circle to make the icon disappear, indicating that the app has quit.
  • Now, go back and find the app icon on your home screen, then tap to launch it again.

Restart your iPhone

So, you tried quitting your buggy application and restarting it, but still, no dice. Now what?
Well, it’s possible that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch may simply be running low on system memory—in other words, it may have so much going on at once that it’s essentially suffering from brain freeze. Restarting your device might do the trick.
  • Press and hold the power button at the top of your iPhone until a red slider appears with the instructions, “slide to power off.” Go ahead and do it.
  • After a few seconds, your iPhone (or iPad, or iPod Touch) will power off completely; wait a few more seconds, then press and hold the power button until the “Apple” logo appears.
  • Once your iPhone is up and running again, give your misbehaving app a try.

Delete and reinstall

So, is your app still crashing? Let’s try one more thing: deleting the app off your device completely and reinstalling it from scratch. (And don’t worry—you can always re-download a previously purchased app from the App Store.)
Crashing iPhone apps 1 200x300 3 ways to fix a crashy iPhone (or iPad) app
You may lose all of an app's stored data if you delete it, so think twice before proceeding.
  • Find the application’s icon on your iPhone’s home screen, then tap and hold it until all the icons on the screen begin to shake.
  • See the little “x” on the corner of the app icon? Tap it. A message will appear warning your that if you continue, you’ll delete all of the app’s data—including, say, any saved documents or game progress. Keep that in mind before proceeding.
  • Ready to move ahead? Tap the “Delete” button, and the app will be wiped off your phone.
  • Now, time to reinstall. Launch the App Store application, and either a) search for the app your just deleted or b) find it in your list of previously installed apps. (Just tap the “Updates” tab at the bottom of the screen, tap “Purchased,” select the “Not On This iPhone” filter, and look through the list until you find your app.) Remember that you won’t be charged twice for an app you’re re-downloading.
  • Last but not least, launch your reinstalled application; with any luck, no more crashes.

iPhone tip: Where do I find my “archived” e-mail messages? (reader mail)

How to find archived messages on your iPhone iPhone tip: Where do I find my archived e mail messages? (reader mail)Mark writes: I was filing some mail on my iPhone 4, but instead of putting my messages in a folder I pressed “Archive”. Where is this archive and how can I retrieve items?

Hi Mark! So, I’m guessing you were filing messages in a Gmail account, correct? Well, don’t worry. Your archived e-mail hasn’t gone far.
When you set up a Gmail account on the iPhone (or iPad, for that matter), you get the option of “archiving” your e-mail messages rather than deleting them.
Archive icon in the iPhone Mail app 300x199 iPhone tip: Where do I find my archived e mail messages? (reader mail)
When it comes to Gmail, the iPhone replaces the usual Trash icon with an “Archive” button.
Indeed, you’ve probably noticed that when you open a Gmail message, the usual “Trash” icon at the bottom of the screen is missing; instead, there’s a tiny box with an arrow pointing inside.
Also, when you swipe a message in your Gmail inbox, you’ll see a red “Archive” button appear rather than a button marked “Delete.”
OK, so what happens when you archive your messages? Where do they go?
Easy—they’ve been shuffled into Gmail’s “All Mail” folder.
To find an archived message, here’s what you do:
  • Tap the iPhone’s Mail icon, go to the main Mailboxes screen (if you’re viewing a particular mailbox, you’ll need to tap the navigation arrow at the top of the screen to back up), scroll down to the Accounts section, and select your Gmail account.
  • You should now see a list of all your Gmail folders—and near the top, you’ll see one marked “All Mail.” Tap it; within a few seconds, your iPhone will load the latest messages in your All Mail directory.
  • If you don’t see the message you archived, try searching; scroll to the top of the message list, then swipe down again with your finger until the search bar appears.
  • You can, of course, also find your archived messages by searching your Gmail account on the web.

Other tip

Want to delete your Gmail messages rather than archiving them? Just tweak an option in your iPhone’s Mail settings.
    Archive Messages setting on iPhone 300x190 iPhone tip: Where do I find my archived e mail messages? (reader mail)
    To delete messages rather than archiving them, switch the “Archive Messages” setting to “Off.”
  • Tap the Settings icon on your iPhone’s home screen, tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then select your Gmail account.
  • On the next screen, you’ll see a switch marked “Archive Messages.” Tap the switch to the “Off” position.
  • Now, go back to your Gmail inbox in the Mail app, open a message, and you should see the standard trash icon at the bottom of the screen rather than the archive icon.

How to tap the Menu button in Android Phone

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 01 Agustus 2012 0 komentar
Ever get stumped while using your Android phone? Maybe you want to open a new browser window, or create a new email message, or shuffle your music … but you can’t find the right button on the screen, and before long, you feel your frustration level starting to rise.



One you do, chances are the very menu item you were hunting for will pop up on the screen.
Now, the good news is every Android phone has a Menu button. The bad news? It’s not always in the same place, and it may not even be a physical button.
On some handsets, the Menu key sits all the way on the far-left edge of the row of buttons; on others, it’s the second key to the left, having swapped places with the Home key. And still other manufacturers put the Menu key on its own, smack-dab in the middle.
Android Menu key 300x180 Android smartphone tip: When in doubt, tap the Menu key
The "Menu" key comes in different shapes and sizes, but every Android phone has one.

Making matters even more interesting is the fact that the Menu key is rarely labeled as clearly as it should be.
In some cases, the Menu key is indeed inscribed with the word “Menu”; in others, though, it’s stamped with an obscure icon, like a four-cell grid or a column of short horizontal lines.
Oh, and here’s another wrinkle.
Some newer smartphones running on in the latest “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of Android (a.k.a. Android 4.0) have done away with physical buttons altogether, including the “Menu” key.

Android ICS menu button 300x195 Android smartphone tip: When in doubt, tap the Menu key
Newer Android phones do away with physical keys altogether, but there's still a virtual "Menu" button (see the three dots?) in the corner of the screen.

Instead, you’ll find a virtual Menu button (a.k.a. the “action overflow” button, in Android-speak) in almost any application. The trick? Look for a tiny column of three dots in a corner of the screen, or sitting at the bottom of the display.
Tap the three dots, and you’ll get a new batch of menu options, just like you would with the physical Menu key on older Android phones.
Wherever the Menu key is on your particular phone (and whatever it looks like), you’ll want to get cozy with it. Believe me, it’s your friend.

How to wipe everything off for Android phone

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar
Ready to upgrade to a brand-new iPhone or the latest Android handset? Or maybe you’re trading in your smartphone for a good old-fashioned “feature” phone.
If that’s the case, good for you—and you’re also probably thinking of selling your existing handset on Craigslist or eBay, trading it in for cash, or even giving it to a (very lucky) friend or loved one.
Well, here’s the thing: your old iPhone or Android device is simply brimming with all kinds of personal data, like usernames, passwords, phone numbers, photos, email … you name it.

Now, you’d never hand over family photos, your checking account numbers, or a stack of email to a perfect stranger, would you? Of course not—but that’s essentially what you’d be doing were you to sell or give away an old iPhone without wiping it first.
Luckily, you can erase every last bit of personal data off your iPhone or Android phone in just a few taps.

For the iPhone:


  • Tap the Settings icon on the main home screen, then tap General.
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Reset.
  • On the next page, tap the second button on the screen—the one that reads “Erase All Content and Settings.” If you’ve locked your iPhone with a passcode, you’ll have to enter it before proceeding.
  • Now, a little dialog box will appear at the bottom of the screen that reads: “This will delete all media and data, and reset all settings,” along with a big red button marked “Erase iPhone.” If you’re really, truly ready, press the button—and keep in mind that it could take anywhere from several minutes to an hour for your iPhone to completely wipe all your data. Indeed, you might want to plug in your iPhone’s AC adapter if its battery is running low.

For Android phones:



  • Tap the Applications icon at the bottom of your phone’s home screen, then find and tap the Settings icon.
  • Unfortunately, this is where things get a tiny bit tricky. You’re looking for the “Factory data reset” option, but different Android phones list it under different headings. Tap the “Privacy” heading first; if you don’t find the “Factory data reset” option at the bottom of the list, hit the Back button, and try “SD & phone storage” next; you’ll probably find it there.
  • Once you’ve found and tapped “Factory data reset,” you’ll jump to a page that describes what happens when you hit the “Reset phone” button: your Google ID info will be erased, your installed applications will be wiped, and all your system settings will be reset. There may also be the option to erase your phone’s removable microSD memory card, where photos, music, and videos may be stored; if you’re not planning on keeping the microSD card for yourself, go ahead and check the box.
  • OK, ready? Tap the “Reset phone” button. Android will give you one last chance to change your mind; if you’re all set, tap “Erase everything.”
  • As with the iPhone, it could take several minutes or longer for your Android phone to erase itself—and again, if your handset is low on power, you should connect the AC adapter.

Connectedness as the Standard

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

I am extremely excited that August is Connected Educator month.  In my opinion, being a connected learner, leader, and/or educator is no longer an option.  My personal and professional journey in this area is well documented and something that I regularly present on.  When I think back to my life as an educator prior to becoming connected, I can honestly say that I was isolated, naive, and definitely not as well rounded as I am today. 


Image by Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano- www.langwitches.org/blog based on image (CC) by Alec Couros- /educationaltechnology.ca/couros/799

Here is my quick list of reasons why all educators should become connected and form their own Personal Learning Network(PLN):
  • We become the epicenter of our learning and determine what, where, and when we want to learn.  This makes the learning process meaningful, relevant, applicable, and convenient.  With these structures in place, the foundation is established to unleash passion, creativity, and a pursuit of innovation to do what we do better.  Connectedness and control of our learning provide each of us with the ability to determine our own path and to differentiate to meet each of our diverse learning needs. 
  • This type of learning is fueled by intrinsic motivation, which is the most pivotal ingredient essential to life-long learning, growth, innovation, and sustainable change. 
  • Access to a wealth of free resources.  Using tools to share and acquire resources expands our horizons.  Many educators, including myself a few years ago, don’t even know what tools exist, let alone how they can enhance the teaching and learning process.
  • A two-way mechanism for constructive feedback, support, and advice.  In my mind this is priceless.  No longer do we need to feel like we inhabit isolated islands in our respective positions.
  • You do not have to pay for this powerful opportunity to grow.  All it costs is an investment of time, which you ultimately determine.
  • The ability and means to connect with the best minds in the field of education.  One of the most amazing attributes associated with social media is that it makes the world a much smaller place.  You can now connect with world-renowned educational researchers or experts from your living room.  Possibly even more powerful is the ability to learn from actual practitioners doing the same job as you.  Accessibility to these ideas, strategies, and collective knowledge from both of these groups will ultimately make you a better educator.  Silos of information become a thing of the past.

Your PLN will provide you with the seeds of change, but is up to you to plant, take care of, and cultivate them in order to witness their growth and development into transformative culture elements. If you do, it will not take long before these seeds of change mature and begin to bear fruit by becoming embedded, sustainable components of the school culture and your professional growth. with the tools that are now available connectedness should be the standard, not just an option in education.

What do you think are some of the benefits of becoming connected that I might not have touched on? Can we afford not to become connected?  Please share your thoughts. Below are some more resources to either help you get connected and/or strengthen the connections that you arealdy have.
