<p>I'm curious how others are using wikis for promoting academic writing skills, and if there is anyone who might be interested in doing a Google+ Hangout to discuss (informally) wikis for academic writing purposes.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Short Session Description (one line): A lively and interactive discussion about the importance of relationship in teaching and how to effectively connect to create more teachable time and better academic results.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</p>
<p><span>I’m a counselor, life coach and professional speaker who specializes in helping teachers and students create mutually beneficial educational relationships. Education is first and foremost about the relationship between the teacher and student. A teacher can be completely proficient with the information and still not connect with the students at the developmental level required for the information to come alive in the classroom. </span></p>
<p><span>Students who come from challenging backgrounds often haven’t been taught how to bond with others, trust adults or focus in the classroom so they struggle and can take valuable teachable time away from the rest of the class. I created SchoolToolsTv (STTV) to help teachers and students connect and create the kind of relationships necessary to allow the class to achieve at the highest level possible. </span></p>
<p><span>STTV focuses on emotions, manners, bullying and the basic social skills all students need to succeed. STTV creates a conversation in the classroom that fosters a deeper and more meaningful connection between teacher and students. In only 1 minute a day, STTV offers classrooms common sense tools and strategies they can talk about and use to acquire the skills they need to deal with the reality of their situation in the classroom and beyond. </span></p>
<p><span>When all students realize it’s more about them than it is about their tests score, a safer and more positive learning environment is created in the classroom and everyone benefits. When the show is used school wide, the entire culture becomes one of relationship and connection which makes the school safer and more conducive to other types of educational reforms. In school, as it is in life, “It’s all about relationships”. I have a Master’s in counseling with a Pupil Personnel Services Credential and have done over 3,000 presentations in the K-12 environment over the past 8 years.</span></p>

Is your use of social networking focused on learning or measuring? Recently I wrote an article called "Academic Social Networking: Big Brother or Community of Learners?" I've attached that article to this discussion as a way to start this discussion.<br/><br/>At schools in Toronto, Canada, where I live, "social" networks are being adopted that are really administrative systems for posting and rolling up academic results using the Internet as a broadband pipe. But I see "social networking" in a far different light. I see it as a vehicle for research, discussion, collaboration and learning.<br/><br/>For example, today's headlines on the ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico represents a learning opportunity of enormous importance to young people. The economics of oil is one subject. The science and engineering of deep water drilling is another. The ecology of the Gulf a third. Energy alternatives is a fourth. Carbon footprint is a fifth. The geopolitical implications of oil is a sixth. Risk analysis is a seventh. The list goes on. How can students utilize the tools of the Internet and social networking to engage in these topics? How can teachers direct the community of student learners as they blog, present multimedia, comment, message and share with each other.<br/><br/>When I was a student I never quite fit in with the regular classroom learning process. I was always turning over rocks, conducting experiments, challenging teachers on facts expressed from lesson plans. I was a "pain in the ass" to many. I see in social networking the unleashing of the kind of curiosity I had channeled through the power of the medium. The world of the Internet and mass media is the world of these young people, the first generation of purely digital natives. What tools they use, and how they learn is far different than the way I went about it when I was a student.<br/><br/>So let's engage in a discussion on how to use social networking as a learning environment for students, parents and teachers. <br/> Online Academic Misconducttag:www.classroom20.com,2009-10-02:649749:Topic:3871962009-10-02T04:39:21.127ZMary Hrickohttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MaryHr
Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
In a couple of weeks, I will be presentng a panel on online academic misconduct (beyond cheating and plagiarism) and I was wondering the following:<br />
<br />
Do you have a policy regarding disciplinary action toward online students who disrupt class?<br />
<br />
What have you done to address disruptive behavior (e.g. inappropriate posts, rants in discussions, student vs student issues) in the online class?<br />
<br />
How do you "remove" a disruptive online student from your class? Have you ever had to do…
Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
In a couple of weeks, I will be presentng a panel on online academic misconduct (beyond cheating and plagiarism) and I was wondering the following:<br />
<br />
Do you have a policy regarding disciplinary action toward online students who disrupt class?<br />
<br />
What have you done to address disruptive behavior (e.g. inappropriate posts, rants in discussions, student vs student issues) in the online class?<br />
<br />
How do you "remove" a disruptive online student from your class? Have you ever had to do so?<br />
<br />
As I am researching this topic, I find that many places apply the f2f classroom management policies to the online classroom, but this scenario may not always work.<br />
<br />
I would be interested in learning what others are doing to address this issue.
