Morgan Bayda
This is a different sort of post. You must go to Morgan Bayda's post An Open Letter to Educators to read the complete text. More importantly, read through the comments left by EDM310 students. They had this assignment for last week: Write a brief essay in which you compare your attitudes and experiences with those of Morgan Bayda. Leave her a comment. Also watch the video by Dan Brown which makes up part of her post.
The responses of EDM310 students are more revealing than Morgan's post.
Morgan is an undergraduate student at the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada majoring in Elementary Education. Morgan is involved in a research project for a special education class in the province of Saskatchewan.
Morgan will Skype EDM310 Wednesday March 31 at 2:00 pm in the lab Room 3301. You are welcome to attend.

The Networked Student
by Wendy Drexler 5:11
Wendy Drexler writes: "The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century."

Kaia and Room 10 - Why Blogs and Commenting on Blogs Are So Important
John Strange is a committed advocate of blogging. All students in EDM310 must create a blog and post all of their EDM 310 projects to that blog as well as weekly posts. In his post Kaia and Room 10 - Why Blogs and Commenting on Blogs Are So Important John explains why he feels blogs are so important to teaching and learning. This post is filled with links to the events, videos and posts that John discusses. Be sure you visit these links as well. They are the important part of this post.

It's Not About the Technology
Like last week, we take you to a post (just click on the title found later in this post) by Kelly Hines, a 5th grade teacher and technology specialist in North Carolina. Please read her article and the comments that have been left for her. At the end of the comments you will see a long list of comments left by students in EDM310. After you have read It's Not About the Technology, and left a comment for Ms. Hines, please return here and leave us a comment as well.
Ms. Hines had a Skype session with EDM310 Thursday February 17. It was an excellent discussion which I think you would find very interesting. Clicl here for Ms. Kelly Hines Skype Conversation with EDM310.

Is It OK To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?
This week we take you away from this blog (just click on the title found later in this post) to visit one of the most famous blog posts in educational circles: Karl Fisch's post Is It OK to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher? in which he argues that "If a teacher today is not technologically literate - and is unwilling to make the effort to learn more - it's equivalent to a teacher 30 years ago who didn't know how to read and write. "

If you find these videos interesting, you would also find Dr. Wesch's 2008 presentation to the Library of Congress fascinating. It is 55:33 long, but it is well worth the hour you will invest in watching it. If you have the time, watch it as well.
Your comments would be appreciated on the videos you watch.
