You have ...Congratulations on your new appointment. You have just become a part of what I believe is one of the most exciting undertakings to improve education in Alabama, maybe even anywhere in the South. Baldwin County is now ephasizing the use of challenge based, project-based and problem-based learning strategies <b>at all grade levels</b>. These efforts are similar to the networked student's approach to learning except the approaches vary according to grade. It is happening right now - in Baldwin County. The most advanced is Gulf Shores Elementary but a new training project called the Digital Renaissance Leadership Academy started yesterday (2/25/13) in Baldwin County. All teachers will be trained to be Baldwin County's equivalent of a networked teacher. There are almost 300 in the first year long program of DRLA. Foley Elementary and High School both have participants. Teachers from<b> all grades</b> are participating in the Academy. It will be exciting to watch it happen. So get ready. So get ready to be a Networked Teacher! Baldwin County will be a great place to be a teacher! Time to celebrate!John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056984694464758174.post-82134870163170565882013-02-25T13:44:52.744-06:002013-02-25T13:44:52.744-06:00I really enjoyed reading your blog post.

I also am beginning to realize that this class is teaching me how to be a "self-learner." Hopefully I will be able to instill this concept in my future students and teach them how to be effective self-learners. I also enjoyed watching this video because I didn't have a lot of ideas as to how I would teach my students how to start their own personal learning network. This video was very helpful in providing a lot of valuable information that I will be able to use in the future. Thank you for putting the link to Evernote in your blog post. I am trying to more effectively organize my personal learning network. The 7th grader was so organized, and it has definitely inspired me. I have started an account with Symbaloo, and I am hoping it will be a great tool to help me organize my own personal learning network.

I have bookmarked it for my personal use. <br />Do not forget to proof-read your blog. There are a few little word placement mistakes. I do it too, so I understand.Gwendolyn Mullinaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424653646684911901noreply@blogger.com
