We got lots of pregnant one-liners from the discussion:
- What if? Can you envision the future?
- Question the norm!
- Creative kids: learn first, technology second.
- In the new paradigm a Principal is now called “The Chief Learner”
- Be comfortable NOT knowing.
- Concentrate on the power of language.
- Think of higher purpose.
- Your role ought to be one to inspire!
- Learn to fly!
- Discovery is a process – ask the BIG IDEAS
SECOND SESSION:
The second session I attended this morning was on “Digital Media Tools for English Language Learners.” It was absolutely excellent.
Arturo Guajardo, Austin Independent School District with Susan Monahan presented their experiences using technology solutions with ELL students with great success. The web site is: http://eduese.pbwiki.com/FrontPage (I don’t think he will mind, the password is: Arturo)
This was an ideas-rich presentation. Congratulations to the Texas team!
ROAMING:
I got to see great teacher displays – wow! Impressed by the Virgin Island displays and many others…
Here are kids explaining to adults the principles of geocaching and how they used it to do their environmental science project! Trish would have been proud…!
