NETS-T provides one standardized, big-picture perspective. At the other end of the spectrum, the Edu-Twittersphere offers up a litany of tools on a nightly basis. Join this session to debate the competencies connecting the two.","Description":"Much as we feel compelled to do for the children in our charge, where is the list of what teachers might want to know and be able to do in 2012? In 2007, Karl Fisch publicly asked whether it was, okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher? Though few would answer affirmatively, far fewer would suggest a set of specific competencies. The NETS-T provides one standardized, big-picture view. At the other end of the spectrum, the Edu-Twittersphere offers up a litany of tools on a nightly basis. Will Richardson has articulated a solid set of shifts that have changed the playing field for educators in the 21st Century. I believe there is much room for rich discussion in between the 30,000-foot view and the all-too-grounded, list of tools.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This session is a facilitated conversation from beginning to end. We will begin with a decidedly low-tech brainstorm in stages by engaging in a version of the \"Silent Chalk Talk.\" Participants will then record images of the wall with the mobile devices in their pockets for the remaining segments. The second segment of the session will include face-to-face reflections and informally moderated debate (aloud). The third and final segment will feature the creation of a sort of \"digital manifesto -- a set of competencies for today's technologically-savvy teacher as derived from a use of Google Moderator: http:\/\/goo.gl\/Uw0AT to create a culminating, group-moderated document.","Presenter":["Sean Nash"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Saint Joseph","Missouri Public School District"],"PresenterEmail":["nashworld@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":16,"ScheduleLocationID":2,"SubmitterID":62,"AdditionalComments":"I'm picturing a giant wall of white butcher paper in the hallway outside of the presentation room. Once the strategy is explained, the entire room of participants moves into the hallway in silence with a pile of markers on the floor in front of the wall. To me, another really valuable meta-conversation lies in the affordances of a low-tech approach for a specific learning event vs. a more technocentric approach. In my opinion, this naturally evokes a reflection on the TPACK framework. That framework seeks to synthesize content, pedagogy, and technology into the most powerful approach to learning for each scenario. I would love be part of a situation where that discussion caught on as one underlying conversation throughout the course of an entire conference.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":46277,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":1}}
