I’m trying to find other schools and districts who are really engaged in using Google Apps as an LMS. I know a lot of folks are experimenting, but I would love to connect a few schools/districts together in a hangout to discuss the systems to support this in more than a single classroom or team of teachers.
Who is doing this work at the district (or schoolwide) level?

I love this elementary teacher’s reflection on the innate struggle to perfect blended learning in your classroom.
Kirk Anderson has consistently laid out a really great challenge: How do we make sure that these types of communities of practice are not just for early adopters and external folks who are drawn to online collaboration?
To me this speaks to both the promise and drawbacks of personalized professional learning.
Are we building structures and supports for everyone, or are we building them for those who are already able to take advantage of them?
How do we ensure that our own school and district stakeholders take part in personalizing their learning?
It is easy to build a coalition of the willing, which is what I think we have started doing here. However, it is much harder to add to that coalition and to continue this high level of discourse with folks who are new to the platform and the very concept of personalized PD.
I know I have more questions than answers in this post, but I hope that there are folks within this community that are actively engaged in building things that will outlast our involvement.
Care to help me answer this challenge?
I love these resources that align key elements of Project-Based Learning to the CCSS (Critical thinking, collaboration, etc.).
I found this blog post highly engaging, even if it is a bit overly critical for my taste. It lays out the barriers to personalized PD as Control, Compliance, and Permission.
Do you agree? What are the other barriers to Personalized Professional Learning?

Sudi Stodola, have you seen this wonderful video from the Toronto public libraries?
I think anyone interested in the future of libraries would like it too.
I’m looking to try and get a good reading list of teacher and school leader blogs in an OPML file from Feedly. Anyone care to export their feedly account and share? I’m gonna put together a Google Drive folder with them all once I’ve got them collected.
