I'm a bit biased perhaps, as I also teach for their program :) I'm currently developing a course on "social networking for distance learning" that will launch next month! !

Having ADHD doesn't help either, because sitting down and reading all the time gets to be difficult. It also seems that everything gets dragged on. One conversation could take days online, where as if you are face to face you could be done and move on to another discussion. To me more get accomplished in face to face meetings, but I also understand that online communication gets deeper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651525063565786214.post-33446120209751999942010-01-28T18:59:43.953-08:002010-01-28T18:59:43.953-08:00I really like how the article focused on positive ...I really like how the article focused on positive long term changes. The "microwave oven" system of fad changes has ruled school districts for too long. There is a great book that I read about 8 or 9 years ago and reread about 2 years ago that discusses the way schools in Japan go about doing curriculum reform. It's amazing to read about the deliberate way in which the school district will focus on one lesson and the entire faculty will look at that one lesson and how best to teach it. (Look for TIIMS information.)<br />-LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651525063565786214.post-29284966766266218332010-01-26T07:29:28.428-08:002010-01-26T07:29:28.428-08:00Even though, I have only taught for 8 years, I hav...Even though, I have only taught for 8 years, I have seen my share of fads that come and go. This article does a great job at expressing this phenomenon. In my experience, I have participated in so many initiatives that I can’t remember them all. The flaw has been not to follow through. They were all initiated for a good reason and with an end in mind but have not been adequately supported, either by providing time or by being replaced with a new plan. After reading the document you linked, I found myself laughing with the term “microwave oven”, a term that will adopt.Glorianne Gordils-Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655586299049750980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651525063565786214.post-81419801678822066992010-01-23T16:15:27.572-08:002010-01-23T16:15:27.572-08:00It looks like you and Lisa think alike!
