Join me live on Teachers Teaching Teachers at http://edtechtalk.com/live tonight, Wednesday 2.22.12 at 9PM Eastern / 6PM Pacific/World Times: goo.gl/Y0yYc .I will be among an amazing mix of thoughtful people who will be helping each of us to reconsider our assumptions and to recast our questions about student engagement in high school and beyond. You can add to this mix by listening in and adding to the chat at http://edtechtalk.com/live. Here's what you have to look forward to:
- Learn more about Todd Finley and his colleague Shari Steadman's research into student teachers at East Carolina University
- Find out from Alexander Pappas and Ruby Ku about what's new at http://hourschool.com especially their Peer Teaching Campaign http://hourschool.com/campaign
- Listen to what the provocative, thoughtful folks like me (Lisa Nielsen), Troy Hicks, Buffy Hamilton, and Teresa Bunner have to say about drop outs and engagement.
- Join a couple of students, Evelyn salazar and Kelsey Shelhart who might be able to join us.
- Listen to Nick Perez explain why his unrecognized talents led him to leaving high school, and into the new life working at a technology start up.
- Who drops out?
- Why?
- Does it matter?
- What alternatives are available?
- How do questions about "engagement" -- even what it means -- help us have productive dialogues about what good teaching and learning looks like and what might change in our schools?
All of this on Teachers Teaching Teachers at http://edtechtalk.com/live on Wednesday 2.22.12 at 9PM Eastern / 6PM Pacific/World Times: goo.gl/Y0yYc
I hope you'll be able to join!
