I can think of all kinds of learning to be had. Estimation and prediction and attendant record keeping to start - Third graders could practice measuring time and perception of time. Maybe use a control (twin) ice cream sundae to measure core and s...

I've heard tell there's a Web-based username and password organizer out there. I could use one. My dream version? It's like tripit where you simply send email confirmation and it adds it to a personal database.

I am a on the board of directors of Springboard Innovation, which operates OUTSIDE the k-12 sphere. Interesting mission, important aims - Springboard focuses on informal youth education and community development through education. Please visit: www.learninginnovation.org

What occupies me lately? I just wrote a book with coauthor Suzie Boss titled "Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age"
We are excited about the promise of pbl and professional learning in the web 2.0 era, where important learning functions (collaboration, learning anywhere, many more) are made possible through a myriad of new and emerging tools.
The book profiles teachers and classrooms from around the globe- each point we make is illustrated with a story of teachers and learners who are walking the walk and accomplishing great things.

Eshu's Thousand Cranes

A Crane Alights in Eugene, Oregon


There's the germ of a collaborative learning project in here somewhere...

Several months ago the Flickr blog profiled "The Paper Crane Project", a flickr group. Ambitious host Eshu promised to fold and send a paper crane to one thousand people anywhere in the world. All they had t… Continue

Reinventing... all over the Web

Hi,
Suzie Boss and I wrote a book but I won't be shilling here! What we've found in the process of writing is that we're part of a larger conversation around the learning functions of digital tools. We're especially interested in project-based learning. Please consider joining the community of interest forming around "reinventing" the learning experience in these different environments:

HI Jane
I am new to Classroom 2.0
I am really interested in joining the Elluminate sessions. I have checked that my computer is set up- I think but I have as yet not been able to join a session because of the time differences ( I am in Australia ).
I want to try on the weekend. I have had a look at all the tools and clicked here and there but I am not sure how to go about participating.
Can you help or give me some guidelines?
Thanks
Gail

Jane-I am presently participating in Cyber Camp with Bud Hunt and we are using your book for our Professional Study Group. This is my first day on Classroom 2.0 so I wanted to make that connection.

Jane,
I am new to Classroom 2.0 and need some help. As a former Oregonian, you seemed to be a good person to contact. I teach Microcomputer Applications at a small Liberal Arts College in Northern Vermont. My desire is to revise the course making it web2.0 based. Can you direct me to some resources?
Thank you
Jim Black

Awesome thank you so much.

Thanks for the input. We are looking at a 25,000 grant that would support technology for a team of 4 of us. We have discussed net books for blogging and research, flip cameras, and ipod touch for creative purposes. I would like them to keep journals of their work.
the really cool thing is 1/2 of the kids are ESL newcomers, mostly Spanish, and the other half are taking Spanish classes. We think it would be awesome for the ESL to use their English to develop their language skills. and the other half to use their Spanish... We also want to set it up so that kids could take equipment home so that they can teach muligenerationally and everybody wins. I would appreciate any ideas as we are writing this grant now and really need input. thanks.

Thanks Jane! I am very much interested in learning as much about instructional technology as possible! I am working with high scholl students who are thinking of entering the teching profession and so far, I've stayed ahead of them with technology. But I have to put my running shoes on or I'll trying to catch up!!!

I created the "cool sketchy profile pic" with a little help from Photoshop's poster edges effect. I think also used the noise effect to give it the grainy look.

Thanks for the input -- am discussing changing my research focus with my professor, but may still be able to use my Classroom 2.0 page; I'll know in the next couple of days.

Thanks, Jane. Will you be in Orlando for ASCD's Annual Conference next week? Hashtag is @ASCD09; I'm hoping to find some fellow tweeters while there! Great way to find out about different sessions.

Hello Jane, I have co-hosted here with you for a while, but have not really connected. Just want to say that I have really enjoyed reading your book "Re-inventing Project Based Learning" There is a wealth of information and material in there.
