Assignment 11
The thing that struck me most about the school 2.0 website and map was the vast amount of collaboration between everyone involved- students, teachers, administrators, parents and the community. I like the idea of getting "local experts" involved in our lessons. Giving the students real world experiences definitely enhances learning as well as motivation. I also like the idea of online assessments which would allow for more analysis and feedback. One concern I would have about this model would be accessing information. I wouldn't want students/parents to be able to see other students work/grades etc. Also everything would have to be closely monitored to make sure things being posted were appropriate. I think in order for this model to work EVERYONE would have to be on board- teachers, community, administrators etc.

I totally agree with you about EVERYONE being on board. It would provide for a great way for everyone to have a voice in a student's education. I also think that, "local experts" would really enhance student learning. What a great way to enrich students!
You make a good point; all stakeholders need to be involved in the planning and implementation of School 2.0 to ensure that everyone "buys" into the program.
I totally agree... your blog is very similar to mine. I like how everyone is more involved in education and agree that A LOT of people (not just teachers) need to be on board for this to work.
I think the collaboration is the key and the only way it can be done is if everyone "buys" into the program. By sharing what we know using real world experiences we can greatly enhance student learning.
You make a great point about 'local experts' and how they could contribute so much. I also agree that it would be scarey for other parents to see other-than-their- own child's grades. I guess we'll see how this is monitored with Infinite Campus. Then there IS the age-old questions, "How do we get everyone on board?" Sally C
