Hi Ben, I see that you are a moderator for the New Educators DPS group.  I am just beginning my teaching career and starting to feel overwhelmed.  My desire is to leverage as many resources as possible.  I am coming from 8 years in a corporate position and now I will be a HS business teacher at South!  I feel like I just landed my dream job, but at the same time I am not fully abreast as to what I am in for.  Let me know if you have any pointers for my first week and year, or any specific resources that I should tap into. 

Thanks!

What I'm Learning: You can make any physical object better with a little Sugru.

I really love that this type of a product exists. I want all of the maker/hacker spaces to get lots of this stuff and let children and adults make the world around them more durable and useful. I feel a series of Donor’s choose initiatives coming on.

FIX THAT THING. – the future needs fixing – sugru

What if you could fix, modify or make almost anything? That’s why we invented sugru.  Apply it, shape it and watch it transform into a tough and flexible rubber overnight. More than 500,000 people in 155 countries later, sugru is turning into a movement!  Watch the video!

I wonder if this hack works in HoAs… I would love to use less memory whenever I have 10 people in there.

Project Roundtable: What is the Moral Imperative as Educators to share our work?

*After you RSVP for the event, put your info into the planning doc:* http://bit.ly/shareroundtable

*Audience for Roundtable:* This roundtable is for any teacher or leader who has ever wanted to share something publicly and stopped themselves from doing it. This roundtable is for any educator who has struggled with just what to share and how to connect their classroom or school to the wider world. 

*Roundtable Purpose:* The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss all of the ways in which we should be sharing our work as educators. We will also be diving into what privacy concerns and concerns for "learning in private" we must consider as we move into a world of radical transparency for schools.

I am so amazed by all of the wonderful proposals from teachers in Project Cam Opener (opening classrooms and schools…

 

I am so amazed by all of the wonderful proposals from teachers in Project Cam Opener (opening classrooms and schools through video and video conferencing).

If you ever wondered what innovation is happening in the classroom right now, this is it!

If you have a few minutes, go in and rate a few proposals to show the global reach of these teachers’ ideas.
