Myths to Dispel

media type="custom" key="12659816"

Paula: Check out the above slide show for some good examples of myths we may need to dispel at the school. They are summarized below:


 * 1) Technology is just a tool.
 * 2) We can't afford this.
 * 3) There is no time for this.
 * 4) Don't talk to strangers.
 * 5) The best learning happens in schools.
 * 6) We are losing touch with one another.
 * 7) They are just kids.

3/3/12 --Heidi:

Super powerful! I am really beginning to think that we have to just be "evangelists" of what we are doing already. We need to keep presenting what we do in our own classrooms, share at faculty meetings and try and connect with our colleagues face to face as much as possible. What about creating an I:Movie to show of an Ed Camp we go to, Twitter connections we make, Skype sessions we have, blog excerpts we have our kids write and then the comments they get back...a sort of documentary of our journey through some of this? I don't know--just thinkin' outside of the box...maybe after our survey??? It could be a pretty powerful case to present. The words that struck me in the above Slide Share was the slide that said 'you cannot point where to go, rather you go there and make a case.' (not a direct quote, but close.)
