Tomorrow the Ninth Age teachers head to Garrison Forest for the culminating event following our year-long technology projects. We have each expanded our "PLNs" (personal learning networks) using twitter, blogs, and discussion boards, while strive to model effective collaboration for our students.
In our increasngly connected world, technology will be a tremendous tool for the creation, sharing, and recreation of ideas. These projects were a great opportunity for me to learn alongside the boys as we tried new technology tools, curricular modifications, and activities.
As a teacher, there is often pressure to always have the right answer. This year has been a great opportunity for the boys to see that I am a learner, just as they are. An individual (teacher or student) might not have the right answer (often there is not just one right answer), but if we challenge ourselves to grow, and know where to turn for help, we will all improve in the process.
We created a "Teaser Video" video and a short presentation to share with all of the other AIMS technology teams. A tremendous thank you goes out to the boys of 9-1 for helping me challenging myself and grow alongside them this year.
