Hits at the core of perhaps what I believe or really wish for. New ethos = valued collaboration & greater public participation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646871 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646871 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:11:23 -0500 I think this is a valid point to consider. I know people have hesitation and fear about adding a "social media" component, but image the great conversations and discoveries that might not have happened in more of a closed/siloed system. https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646870 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:06:29 -0500 This is exactly what we're facing in my district as we transition traditional classrooms to Next-Gen classrooms. We've had to train the building administrators to encourage risk taking and not count risks against staff on evaluations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646868 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646868 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:03:20 -0500 Transparency is expected in a K-12 setting. With regard to publishing SOD's through social media, perhaps the product is a high-level abstract to allow for conversation, make connections, etc., and then a more traditional process is used finalize the work https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646867 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646867 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:59:28 -0500 I wonder what it might take to get the established faculty to join in? We have the same problem in a K-12 setting. Letting go and embracing the new are hard in the field of education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646864 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646864 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:48:30 -0500 I'm glad you highlighted this Tiffany. I wish more classrooms operated like this to some degree. In the moment it seems messy, but what the students might get the chance experience....worth the risk. https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646848 https://nowcomment.com/documents/67217?scroll_to=646848 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:46:06 -0500
