I can’t promise that I’ll be here blogging all day – but I hope to be. Today’s a big deal for me. I hope it’s useful to you. I’ll live blog as much as I can, but you might want to head to the wiki to learn more or to join in the conversations via Ustream. Ben’s liveblogging, too. (Scroll to the bottom.)

Bud the Teacher
Inquiry & Reflection for Better Learning
Bud,
I was unable to attend either in person or virtually. Thanks so much for posting this, and also for the logged sessions on the Learning 2.0 page. Many interesting sessions.
At 11.59, you made the following comment:
Bud: “It is messed up to make teachers learn outside of their work day all of the things that they need to know to do their work day better (teaching)”
While I agree with this, I also feel that there’s a new breed of teachers that have no problem being connected and working outside of the normal contract hours. Technology can make my job a lot easier. What we need now, though, is a seamless interface between working at home and accessing that work when you’re back in school in front of a class. Currently in the SVVSD we have almost no ability to do this. Just last week I tried emailing two pdf quizzes I wrote at home the night before. They didn’t get though the email filter–probably because of the attachments. One might think: “well just bring them on a flash drive.” Nope–we’ve been told not to try using flash drives with our Thin Client terminals.
I don’t have a problem putting in some extra time at home. I just wish I didn’t have to find really creative ways to get the products into the classroom.
