So, I’m thinking about the unconference day, and I’m wondering if we (the cohort) are responsible for planning/choosing topics. If so, I wonder if we might want to start brainstorming some ideas and throw together a form to think about what expertise is in the room and what needs for learning we may have (and matching the two, hopefully). What do you all think?
(And if someone from the GTA planning folks can give some guidance, I think that would be good too.)
I cannot believe our incredible luck to have Andrew Stillman, the creator of Doctopus, Autocrat, gClassFolders, FormMule and much of YouPD, in our cohort.
Just, Wow!
I know our question topic is a really hard one right now. And I made a video to frame it a bit more (and provide my sort-of answer). I think it is really difficult to determine what students need to be able to know and do, because it is hard to teach someone “how to learn”, and that is what I think we are all trying to do. Anyway, here it is:

Any thoughts about Taking Chromebooks home?
Originally shared by Jessica Raleigh
Anyone have experience with students taking Chromebooks home or having MS or HS students carrying them around all day? Some great experiences shared to answer Ben Wilkoff’s question but I’m wondering if people have considered home-school initiatives with Chromebooks’ current durability.
I am kind of in love with this solution for charging chromebooks (or really any devices).

We are going through a Chromebook RFP in our district and I am trying to get some additional information about some of the configurations that have been proposed to us. Does anyone in this community have experience with the Lenovo Thinkpad, Acer c7, or Samsung Series 3 that can speak to durability or build quality?
Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.
I love this video about creativity, copyright, math, science and art. I think it can speak to our topic of “What our students should be able to know and do” quite nicely.
