Alan November–Creating A New Culture of Teaching and Learning
I attended Alan November’s session entitled Creating A New Culture of Teaching and Learning. He was entertaining and provocative. In fact, there was an un-conference session following Alan’s. He went right through it. His session was to end at 2:00 but he didn’t realize it. At 2:30 he asked us what time he was supposed to finish. He was told 2:30. We all laughed and someone in the group said, “You’re on a roll. Keep going!” So he did. He ended up finishing at 3:00. My head was spinning after his session.
Take aways from the session include:
- All high school students should have to take an on-line course as a graduation requirement.
- “Cisco is a learning company.”
- My goal as a teacher is to help students create the infrastructure for life long learning–their Personal Learning Networks (PLN)
- Empower students to have a global voice
