Tonight! David Warlick on PLNs in SL!
I am passing news of this event along on behalf of Lisa Perez, chair of ISTE’s SIG_MS and AASL’s 2.0 Taskforce.
Talk with David Warlick from the convenience of your own home! Attend the December AASL – ISTE SIGMS learning community meeting on Tues, Dec 16 at 8pm ET/7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT in Second Life. David will facilitate a discussion about “Cultivating a Personal Learning Network”.
To attend: Log into Second Life about fifteen minutes early. Teleport to ISTE Island #3 or IM Elaine Tulip for a TP. This is a voice/chat hybrid event, so plan to use a headset to hear David speak. Edit your preferences to enable voice. [Directions will be provided at the event.]

David Warlick, a 30 year educator, has been a classroom teacher, district administrator, and staff consultant with the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction. For the past ten years, Mr. Warlick has operated The Landmark Project, a consulting, and innovations firm in Raleigh, North Carolina. His web site, Landmarks for Schools, serves more than a half-million visits a day with some of the most popular teacher tools available on the Net. David is also the author of three books on instructional technology and 21st century literacy, and has spoken to audiences throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and South America.
To reflect on and to prepare for the discussion:
We teach in a time of rapid change, when, for the first time in history, we cannot clearly describe the future for which we are preparing our children. This is one reason why learning has become a critical part of what it is to teach. Attendees will discuss a variety of emerging tools and techniques that educators are using to form and cultivate their Personal Learning Networks — connecting themselves to people and resources that help them do their jobs. Reflect on how to grow your own connections to information and experiences that help you strengthen your expertise and remain an engaged member of your profession. Topics will include blogging as a professional development endeavor, opportunities for professional jams, virtual staff development events, and harnessing the magic of RSS to literally train valuable content to find you — to be a 21st Century Educator.
I hope to see you there!
