LiveBlog--Bob Greenleaf at USN
University School of Nashville's inservice, Bob Greenleaf on Brain Physiology and Learning:
Daniel Pink in Nashville
Hey ya'll.
I set up a CoverItLive blog post this a.m. in the hopes that I would be able to use it during Daniel Pink's talk to teachers at the Ensworth School inservice kick-off this a.m. I had the best of intentions.
After arriving at the Ensworth High School campus to learn I was mistaken about the location (the inservice keynote for both schools was held at the K-8 school, duh) I trucked on
Daniel Pink to speak at Ensworth HS
If you're local here in Nashville, I'd highly suggest checking out Daniel Pink tomorrow at Ensworth High School. He's speaking at the private HS as the keynote for their 2008-9 school year inservice, and teachers from other schools are invited.
9:30 am in Frist Hall on the Red Gables Campus at 211 Ensworth Avenue in Nashville. See you there!
Understand the Shift in 21st Century Learning?
Twitter friend Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach dropped a url to her tweets just a few minutes ago, and I took it as a sign that I needed a break from my repetitive data entry for our school's new SIS database and went to view her blogpost at 21st Century Learning. Yes, YouTube has valuable video, and her observations about this one's relationship to the profound changes we're going through as teachers and
The Way It Works
Tonight I sat down to dinner with my lovely family, all four of us; and that is not unusual. We intentionally do so, have always done so, much more often, at dinnertime, than not.

Wow, racing thru the summer after NECC2008, one of those pre-spaceshot centrifugal spinstarts geared to sling my little learning capsule out into the universe with more speed and momentum than it could have had without it.
If you followed that metaphor you're a better reader than I am.
I'm going to add a group here called MUVErs, and it'll be small at first. The core group of MUVErs LLC is Cathy Walker, John Miller, and moi. Our intention is to share our learning trajectories (there's that met… Continue

SLedupotential at NECC!
In one week and a half hour from this very minute I'll be saying goodbye to my 8 co-presenters, our several helpers, and our 30 registered attendees at "SLedupotential: Educational Potential of Second Life and Virtual Worlds," our 3 hours together in what friend Gia calls "meatspace" and concurrently in Second Life over and done with.
