Self Evaluation

In your opinion, what are the most important skills for 21st Century learning? What are the most important technology skills to infuse into your learning environment? (Feel free to cite the NETS*S and/or the P21 Framework)

Tell some ways, via digital tools, you have learned to:
• Create/Innovate
• Communicate/Collaborate
• Problem-Solve/Critically Think, etc…

Changes you can implement TODAY in your teaching (as a result of this class) (don’t necessarily have to be technology-related)

Assess yourself and your learning journey this week. Did you…?
• Create more than you consumed?

I think I did both by learning about tons of new ideas, reflecting/processing on them, and finally creating one innovating project
• Contribute to a collective/shared body of knowledge?

I think blogging/reflection really helped as well as class discussions and presentations!!

• Participate in digital dialogue?

There was quite a bit of back and forth discussion; we could've reflective on each others' blog more, but with time alloted, you have cut some things.

• Use self-directed or discovery learning? (find some answers on your own)

I think it did do some self-exploration by looking at different websites.

Please try to give specific examples of all of the above.

Finally, did you “Think Different”?
Or, how has your thinking changed (if at all) as a result of taking this course?

I "have drunk the koolaid" as I"m really sold to changing the way we teach.  It won't be easy or happen overnight, but this is what is best for our students.

I love your blog photo!! Did you Photoshop it or take it live in front of a map? Great insights all week long. It's rewarding to see someone who really "gets it!" Thanks for all your efforts this week and year-long for the students of O'Neill.
