Part of my decision to go face to face with with Time to Teach seminars is the need to see things for real. After nearly six years of working primarily online, I'm exited to be going back into schools where I can work with teachers and see kids being kids.
Not that e-learning and online teaching isn't real. I'm hopelessly web 2.0 , 3.0 and onward. I've been in it since the Commodore 20 Apple II days last century, and I'll keep marching till I stop.
I've grown so much in the way I inteact with the world, ideas, and my own professional development that the Internet, communities of practice, ed-tech, and critical thinking will be with me as long as I am me.
So I'm looking for exemplary blogs by school leaders as a way to see into schools as I work up my seminar presentations and make the connections to get back infront of teachers doing realtime pro-d.
I've found a few that I'm adding to my Google Reader:
Mr. P's Blog: Steve Poling, is a principal at DeGrazia Elementary School in the Marana Unified School District in Arizona. Steve is connected to blogs across the Internet. I like his voice.
Changing High Schools: Written by "The Super" a Superintendent from the North East with a true ed-tech vision. I'm impressed by his enthusiasm and curious about the change a fellow with vision and a leadership position can do with a public school district. Fun!
I'll be on the look our for more blogs from school leaders. If you know of one suggest it? (In the meantime I'm going to back track through the blogrolls on these blogs and see what I can find.
