The Internet Is Down, Now What? You may remember that fateful day two weeks ago when the Internet went down for our entire district. Days like that can really throw a wrench into anyone's plans, but my friend and fellow DLC Alli was inspired to explore ways to use the iPad without wifi. Alli provides a list that is definitely worth printing - in case, you know, the Internet goes down again. Focus on the Learning: The Triple E Framework I recently participated in a book study over Liz Kolb's book Learning First, Technology Second, which discusses the need for and provides a technology integration metric that focuses on exactly what the book title suggests: putting learning at the forefront of decisions regarding technology integration. Check out my friend and fellow DLC Megan's post about the Triple E Framework. Moving from Feedback to Feedforward One of my favorite education podcasts - really, one of my favorite podcasts, period - is Jennifer Gonzalez's Cult of Pedagogy. Technically this is from January, but since this is my first Link Roundup, I'm going to include it anyway. In this podcast, Gonzalez interviews Joe Hirsch, author of The Feedback Fix: Dump the Past, Embrace the Future, and Lead the Way to Change. Gonzalez interviews Hirsch to find out exactly what feedforward is, and how and why it works. (Not a fan of podcasts? Don't worry, Gonzalez provides a transcript for your reading pleasure.) I'm a SOLE Man... No, this post isn't about the Blues Brothers song, although it does feature a fun song lyric. Inspired by Pinkerton 4th grade educator Kori Haverstick, I led my team in a Self-Organized Learning Environment with the StartSOLE app. My friend and fellow DLC Megan reflects on her experience in her post. An Apple a Week DLC Blog Series Lastly, don't forget to check out the winter blog series: An Apple a Week, led by my friend and fellow DLC Alli.
