How do I make such a page? 18 Apr 2013 - 18:59:13 -><span style="color: #900;">Knitterchat is a personal experiment and in constant beta.

These are tools and techniques that educators use to cultivate networks of people who help them do their jobs, to keep up. I do a presentation about PLNs called ''A Gardener's Approach to Learning''. You can see the online handouts here - http://goo.gl/03U1A </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Chris Reece What is the will 18 Apr 2013 - 19:22:30 <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Amy Seriously! Where do find all of these things??? 18 Apr 2013 - 19:49:06 -><span style="color: #900;">People are talking about this stuff, every day. You have to become part of that conversation. Here are a few people I would strangle recommend that you follow on Twitter: * @adambellow * @stevehargadon * @pammoran * @audreywatters * @mcleod They are especially sharing, and through them you can find others. I tell schools of education these days that they should prepare their teachers for the first three years of their careers, and assure that they have the learning skills and practices to continue to self-develop through their teacherhood.</span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Des can you undoodle if you wanna go back on doodle buzz 18 Apr 2013 - 19:49:27 -><span style="color: #900;">Don't know!

It's so cool!! 18 Apr 2013 - 19:50:37 -><span style="color: #900;">I use a presentation program called Keynote. It's Apple's version of Powerpoint, but the animations are so so much cooler. The only problem is restraining yourself. ;-) </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Tim So part of the new differentiation will be adapting to those without technology? 18 Apr 2013 - 20:00:51 -><span style="color: #900;">I suppose so, though I prefer to take the stance that we shouldn't have to. We have every right to expect that every child should have access to today's prevailing information landscape. They have every right to expect it as well. It always disturbs me when I teach a workshop and no one comes with a computer or tablet. It tells me that they just don't get it. They're still in the dark ages, in my humble opinion. I wish you all great luck on your great adventure. ..and I meant it when I said that teaching is going to be the most exciting profession on the planet. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added line 1:
