What are some takeaways? by Christina Basias https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3 Given our experiences over the last two days, how has your thinking changed? Use this wall to react to the question (whether it's an image, a drawing, a video, a gif). en-us 2019-01-31 15:45:22 UTC 2025-06-09 11:41:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png The tale of two classrooms https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331081647 As we close the MCNC conference I couldn't help but make a connection to the following introduction to Charles Dickens: A tale of Two Cities.  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winder of despair, we have everything before us, we had nothing before us…..". Technology allows for new task that push our limits to thinking outside of the box.  There will always be pros and cons or viewpoints that limit our adjustment to technology.  It is our task to continue modeling Growth Mindset that models getting out of the comfort zone.

One key way to begin responding to this challenge is to become elastic thinkers personally. Committing to grow professionally, learn new tools, methodologies, and stretching the boundaries on the status quo is a requisite frame of mind to support the realization of this commitment. ]]> 2019-02-13 23:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082102 jason_ray https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082113 The biggest takeaway for me about Ed Tech tools and blended learning is that all of it promotes the concept of teachers as facilitators. If we embrace this role, then not knowing all of the latest technology would not feel so threatening. Instead of lamenting what we don't know, we would simply ask students why they are using the technology that they use and help them connect it to larger learning goals, or connect the students to others who would be able to help. This move from teacher to facilitator/coach places the responsibility for learning where it belongs: in the hands of students.]]> 2019-02-13 23:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082113 The Power of Modeling megreen28 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082124 What you have offered us these two days has been a powerful experience. The amount of preparation/research/pre-practice in order to model for all users so that ALL of us are as fully engaged as possible based on our learning styles and OMG our interests - must have taken a great deal of time. This confirms for me that as educational leaders we need to set aside more time for our teachers and demand from our higher ups that that time be made. This type of collaboration felt free, personal, and collaborative and ultimately very powerful.]]> 2019-02-13 23:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082124 Being open to becoming the student (again) to be able to teach (REACH) the student preparing for 2030 careers.. mbernal5 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/tdwqa252q6k3/wish/331082148 To reach someone where they are at.
