WA STEM 1-5-12 Agenda

WA STEM grant meeting Thursday, 1-5-12, from 3pm to 6pm in Mr. G’s room.

Agenda

• Collaboration time:

1. Those who have been blogging successfully will help the others get a blog written and published.
2. Those who have been tweeting successfully will help the others log in to their Twitter account and start following people so they can begin retweeting.

• I got a list of Math and Science educators on Twitter from CybraryMan’s Twitter for Educators page for us to look through. Use this list (a Google Spreadsheet) by clicking on the Math or Science tab and finding more people to follow on Twitter.

• Share successes by reading each other’s blogs and leaving comments and sharing them on Twitter (learn how if you don’t know).
1. Go here to see all our blogs.
2. Go here to connect to all our Twitter accounts.
• Interviews:

1. We need volunteers to be filmed answering the following questions:

1. How has blogging been going for you? Share any obstacles and how you overcame them or how you plan to overcome them.
2. How have you been using Twitter?
3. Do you see how using Twitter could be valuable? Explain how or why not.
4. How has this experience helped you understand 24/7 learning and connectedness? Do you see any ways you can incorporate this into your classes to help your students use mobile learning and social networking in their lives?

• Discuss what we will each do before our final meeting. Let’s work at staying in contact through our blogs and Twitter until our last meeting.
• Choose a date for our final meeting.

Here is exactly what was written in the grant proposal:

Phase 3 is where the exciting work can happen when teachers begin to see the power of having people to connect and communicate with anytime and anywhere. By this phase I’m hoping teachers will see the benefit of social networking, the way our students see it. Our students just need guidance from us as to how social networking can be more than just social. Social learning is a learning style and we can help our students develop it for life-long learning. Teachers will share their experiences with social networking,

* share any obstacles and brainstorm ways to overcome them,

* share successes and celebrate them, and

* blog about all of the above.
