NECC

Having just returned home from NECC, my brain is full of ideas of how technology can be integrated into the curriculum at my school. What is the best way to get the teachers excited about using Web 2.0? I have plans to work on the School Improvement plan using a wiki. I think that if the teachers use the wiki--then they will see the benefits and how easy it is to set up. I have hopes that this will work.

I have committed to blogging more about my experiences in the Ph.D. program at Walden. It is a challenging program that causes me to learn and think constantly. While at NECC, I attended a Walden residency at night. Dr. Shepard had great people to speak to us--David Thornburg, Vicki Davis, Sherry Toledo and Mark Wagner. These are leaders in their fields and it was so encouraging that they would take time to speak to us.

I am now home writing summaries of the sessions that I attended. Then I am going to start working on my next KAM (Knowledge Area Module). I am writing the one concerning systems theory. I am looking at different theorists at this point. I have picked out Peter Senge. I am looking for others.
