Twitter, Simply Complicated.
Twitter’s biggest obstacle to being the number one tool of Professional Development for educators is Twitter. It is a simple tool, based on a simple idea, which is complicated by its simplicity. To use twitter is to get it. To explain Twitter is a losing proposition. Twitter’s reputation as an application is its worst enemy. It has been the brunt of comedians’ jokes since it began. Members of the Hollywood crowd embraced it for the purpose of engaging their fans with a majority of mindless… Continue

World’s Simplest Online Safety Policy
Lisa Nielsen and I co-wrote and cross posted this post.
When it comes to upgrading education to the 21st Century, those who are less supportive of change, often hide behind, or are frightened of acronyms likeFERPA, CIPA, COPPA.

A Digital Social Media Educator in an Analog System
For the last four days I have been experiencing a great learning conference for educators. The International Society for Technology in Education Conference, ISTE, is held once a year.

Digital Native Myth Buster
After a wonderful experience at the ISTE11 Conference in Philadelphia, I finally made the decision to get away from any computer and get myself to the beach for a week to decompress. Of course, I have my Droid, so I am still somewhat connected, but frustratingly so. A mobile device doesn’t yet fully replace the speed and convenience of a loaded laptop or desktop.

Let's Aim Beyond Standards By Yuhang Rong
Let's Aim Beyond Standards
By Yuhang Rong
Raised by my grandparents, I grew up in China. After every major exam, my school ranked every student. No matter how well I did, I was never the No. 1 kid in the class, and my grandmother never seemed satisfied. One day after she scolded me again for only scoring 96 on a math test instead of a perfect 100, I resentfully asked her, “Why can’t everyone be number one?” She looked at me with an all-knowing…
