Learning to Change
Thanks to a tweet from Jeff Whipple I found my way to this video produced by Pearson’s for CoSN. The title - Learning to Change, grabbed me first and got me thinking before I even clicked the play button. We tell teachers they must change, but do we acknowledge that we must in many cases learn [...]Comment Challenge - Let’s Take Stock
As part of the 2008 31 Day Comment Challenge, we’ve been asked to consider how we’re inviting conversation on our own blogs. It’s been suggested that we use Michele Martin’s post Six Reasons People Aren’t Commenting On Your Blog as a guide for auditing our blogs. Here are six common traps Michele says bloggers [...]The Comment Challenge: Building Community One Conversation at a Time
We’re more than a week into the 2008 31 Day Comment Challenge and at the time of this writing, coComment is tracking 135 conversations by 92 group members. There are far too many individual comments to try to read them all! However following conversations that interest you will still lead you to many voices you [...]Things are buzzin’ at the Comment Challenge!
The volume of the edublogsphere has been cranked up this past week as over 100 bloggers have taken up the challenge to improve their commenting by participating in the 2008 31 Day Comment Challenge. Commenters have been buzzing, flitting from blog to blog, sampling bits of wisdom here and digging into conversations there. Kate Foy and [...]2008 Comment Challenge - Tracking Your Comments
I’m really enjoying taking part in the 2008 Comment Challenge! I’m meeting familiar and new-to-me bloggers all over the place (including here on my own blog)! And as usual when I throw myself into a challenge, I’m learning so much! Today’s challenge relates to comment tracking. This is a critical element of commenting. When you make [...]Join the 2008 Comment Challenge
Coordinated by Sue Waters, Silvia Tolisano, Michele Martin and Kim Cofino, the Comment Challenge has been designed to motivate us to become “better blog citizens.” I think this is just the kick-in-the-pants I need to get back to being a participating citizen of the edublogsphere, one who enjoys the right to take part in collegial dialogue [...]Horizon Project 2008: Don Tapscott Keynote
I’ve been keeping an eye on the Horizon Project 2008 when I can steal away for a few minutes and am very impressed with the efficiency of the students as they get themselves organized into their focus groups and assign individual and group responsibilities. The project was officially opened more than two weeks ago with a [...]Horizon Project 2008 is underway!
Kudos to Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay as they kick off what promises to be another incredible global collaborative project, Horizon Project 2008! Eleven classrooms from the Australia, Austria, Japan, Qatar, Spain and the United States are collaboratively envisioning the future of education and society based upon the Horizon 2008 report from the New [...]Note to self!
Dear Diane Please tag this post as you will probably need to refer to it at a later date. The following action items require your immediate attention: Acknowledge that you are a busy professional with too many items on her to-do list and that the process of completing these tasks is of far more significance than the [...]Authentic Learning - Meaningless Edspeak?
Skimming my Twitter messages yesterday, I came across a request from Dr. Alec Couros from the University of Regina to help him respond to a writer who took issue with his use of the phrase “authentic learning” in an article, Safety and Social Networking, that he had written for TechLEARNING. The writer in question [...]Diane Hammond's Page

L-1
L-1…one day until the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor.
We’re barely surviving the
heat in Florida, but we’re eagerly awaiting the launch of Endeavor,
scheduled to lift-off at 6:36 tomorrow, (Wed. Aug. 8). We had a very
busy day today touring the Kennedy Space Center, viewing the launch
site and attending the Canadian Space Agency reception for astronaut
Dave Williams.… Continue

I'm going to see the Space Shuttle launch!
I’m heading off to Florida this afternoon for a once-in-a-lifetime
experience! Yes, you might say, going to Florida in August will
probably be a trip I won’t forget for awhile. As great an experience as
that promises to be, my awesome adventure also includes watching the launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor, from the VIP viewing area, as part of the Canadian Space Agency co… Continue

Think Big!
One of the things I love most about teaching is the opportunity we have
to “start fresh” each school year - with new students and new
possibilities. As we plan for the learning opportunities we will
facilitate for our students, we need to step back from our curricula,
lists of outcomes, and standards; step way back, and keep backing up,
until a bigger picture starts to come into focus. Once we have the
perspective of that bigger picture, we can zoom in again on the
outcomes and standards as requ… Continue

If you add yourself to the map, please include a name or a photo of some sort. There seem to be a lot of unidentified people from unidentified places and the map is getting stuck on for some reason. The problem is that I can't tell from the members’ list which anonymous hits are real people and which were just false starts. The company does not differentiate members unless there is a picture or a name. Location only is not enough to help me know which entries are not real ones. THANKS!!!!
I wrote a blog post myself a while back called: Learning to Change and Changing to Learn. I wish that video you posted was still available for viewing.
Thanks for the invite and thanks again for coming all the way out to join us for a day. You should start seeing the kids blog posts showing up on the ISS site.
The ISS project looks great!
