The Connected Educator Culture | My Island View
"A connected 21st Century educator is an educator who is digitally literate, or at least open to learning the technology needed to basically connect and collaborate with others. It requires at the very least the same openness to learning as we ask of our students. It is a life long learning mindset. Connected educators find a value in, or even a moral imperative to share ideas and sources with others. They also trust enough to openly ask for help of other connected educators."

Innovation in Education is Easy, Unless You Make it Difficult | AJ Juliani
-
"Juárez Correa didn’t know it yet, but he had happened on an emerging educational philosophy, one that applies the logic of the digital age to the classroom. That logic is inexorable: Access to a world of infinite information has changed how we communicate, process information, and think. Decentralized systems have proven to be more productive and agile than rigid, top-down ones. Innovation, creativity, and independent thinking are increasingly crucial to the global economy."

Global Youth Debates - New Logo - Fresh invitation to join us!
We are excited to launch into practice debates this coming week, organised by our Project Manager Eva Brown. See the timeline for the whole year flow of debates and celebrations. We also have our Collaboration and Community facilitator, Aaron Maurer creating a welcoming community within Edmodo for students across the world to connect and converse.
In addition our Lead Teachers from Red River College have been preparing and running online bootcamps in how to use Diigo and Voicethread - both essential tools fro research and communication/debates in this project.
This week our Debating Coach, Marcia Alessi, will be starting the first of 2 Judges Training sessions to prepare judges to evaluate each online debate and to provide rich feedback in a timely manner.
Two major updates for consideration - please join us now!
- We are still accepting more debate teams from schools for this semester. Practice debates start this week.....but the main Round 1 bracket does not start until the end of October. We need more teams for both the younger (Gr 5/6-8) and the older (Gr 9-12) sections - it is NOT too late to join us!
- We are inviting interested judges to sign up again now and be part of the training. This is a good time to jump in again!

The first big idea is learning by doing. The second big idea is technology as building material The third big idea is hard fun The fourth big idea is learning to learn The fifth big idea is taking time The sixth big idea is the biggest of all: you can’t get it right without getting it wrong The seventh big idea is do unto ourselves what we do unto our students The eighth big idea is we are entering a digital world where knowing about digital technology is as important as reading and writing. So learning about computers is essential for our students’ futures BUT the most important purpose is using them NOW to learn about everything else.
