Learning is Change

Whispering for Change

I love the way in which Sheri Edwards speaks about teaching and learning. Her poetry is wonderful and deserves to be thought through. The challenge that I took from her latest vlog is that she would like to whisper with fellow teachers and leaders in order to change education. I’m game, are you?

Are We Done #CoLearning Yet?

Our communities exist and grow based upon their use, but we should join and leave those communities at will. We should be a part of them rather than own them. We should allow things to go fallow and then pick them up again and get excited. Communities do not die so long as one person takes it upon themselves to carry the banner and continue on.

So, there are two things here:

So, there are two things here:

1. This video collaboration between students from around the world is amazing. It is completely homegrown (read: no formal teacher support), and I love what they have created.

2. I want my own Fellowship. I would love to have 6 other people that would be game for creating videos on a single channel and respond to one another in a weekly (or semi-weekly) cycle (i.e., we would all pick one day of the week). 

I’m game for anyone taking part, but I would love to see what you think of the idea. I will likely be having more conversations about this with new folks, but I’ll tag a few to see if the conversation here starts the ball rolling.  Gallit Zvi, Sheri Edwards, Darren Kuropatwa Rodd Lucier

Who is in your Fellowship?

I came across the singe most amazing student collaboration I have ever seen. While that may sound like hyperbole, it isn’t. I love the fact that 7 "strangers" from around the world came together and for two years produced video blogs for one another about topics they loved. While they are stopping their collaboration at the end of February, I encourage you to check it out because there are hundreds of videos to explore.

Also, I am looking to start a fellowship of my own… so, let me know if you want in.
