Blogging at NECC

So here I am finally at NECC in San Diego. There have been some challenges in getting in and getting registered since HUSD apparently dropped the ball in getting my registration in through the NCLB funds.

Anyway, first session
21st Century Skills and High School Reform



I am encouraged by looking at the 21st Century Skills framework and thinking about how close it is to Moreau's ESLRs and to our overarching mission and goals.


Core Subjects
Learning and Thinking Skills
ICT skills
21st Century Skills
Life Skills

Wish there was more about assessment tools. Will try to catch up with this group later on assessment tools.

Second Session:Planned Improvisation: Technology Supported Learning in the Social Studies Classroom

First of all, very cool that they are using live iChat to have a co-presenter who is in another part of the country waiting for his wife to go into labor.
