David Warlick stressed an important point that in the 21st century, teachers need to be Master Learners. We must rethink and reinvent what it means to be educators in the 21st century. Warlick recomends building a Personal Learning Network so that we continue to be both educators and students. His PLN accesses a variety of educational blogs, twitter, and social media sites. Access the URL below for online handouts to help you build your own PLN and further your own development as a learner.
Rss feeds are particularly important in building a PLN, because you can search many sites and blogs from just one place. This could be done through an igoogle page were one can create pages by subject to funnel in all of the relevant blogs and sites. Instead of going out to find the information, use rss feeds to bring the information to you.
Some helpful sites for a PLN:
Technorati: to search blogs and posts by subjects
Blekko: search blogs by subject
Topsy: for searching tweets
Delicious: for finding tagged/bookmarked websites for a specific subject
Flicker: can search by subject to find recent uploaded photos and popular tags

A great workshop on the potential of digital textbooks in the near future. The PDF of the presentation can be found through the URL posted below. The session also utilized a rich variety of free web 2.0 programs such as poll everywhere (for texting responses via mobile phone to the presenter's website.) These web 2.0 sites can be found in the handout.

Today I spent time at the poster sessions. I met a teacher from the Florida Virtual School who shared her experiences with teaching both asynchronous and live online courses. It was interesting.
Later in the morning I was in a roundtable discussion about preparing Administrators to transform school districts for 21st Century Learning. There were many takeaways from this including the need for districts to have common language about 21st century skills. Another critical piece is the need to remove the gap between what we believe about these skills and what we actually do. Do we still evaluate teachers based on 20th century teaching expectations?

iPads in the secondary science classroom
By using free apps (sparkvue by pasco) a physics teacher incorporated iPads into a physics lesson on laws of motion. The iPads built in accelerator enables students to graph and calculate the acceleration of a moving iPad in their hand. Students also used the iPad to read an ebook version of their textbook.
Resources for Emerging Literacy Teachers
Great workshop for the K-5 in terms of using computers in your classroom in order to get your students thinking and problem solving. Focus is on Literacy and contained some great resources for both teachers and students. She also gave some great Web 2.0 tools. Here is the wiki for the presentation.

NETS*S: 1-4; NETS*T: 1-3, 5
"New learning literacies can't be taught as separate skills. They must be an integral part of every course we teach."
This was probably the BEST presentation I went to at ISTE!! I'll write more about it later.
The presentation can be seen here bit.ly/wriste11
Some of the best quotes from were:
According to the current definition of literacy by the National Council of Teachers of English, 98% of our graduating seniors are illeteriate!!!
21st Century readers and writers need to be able to "manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information."
"It's not a matter of information overload; it's 'filter failure.'"
--Clay Shirky
