Video Conference (VC) Leadership Guest - ISTE C.E.O.

Don Knezek of ISTE engaged in a dialogue with our class today, just as the newest NETS-A (Administrative Outcomes) and Essential Conditions are released.

Very inspiring!
Very affirming!

I would really like to reflect on my notes from the talk, and get something together to share. I'm looking forward to discussing the talk further with classmates, as well.

...and some reminders to self: -OLOGY/-ISMs

[with wikipedia, no less. ...and no, we're not going to get into the PRO/CON wiki-debate here].

First, Jean Piaget's CONSTRUCTIVISM.

Then, POST-MODERNISM.

EPISTEMOLOGY and FOUNDATIONALISM.

RELATIVISM and POSITIVISM.

Textbooks borrowed...

I've now borrowed texts for:
Curriculum Studies and Classroom Practice (ED 5200)
Educational Leadership and the Change Process (ED 5630)

I'm planning on keying in some of my notes on Blogger with my mrrobertson log-in as a means of keeping track of some of my progress.

We'll see how it all works.

An online portfolio weblog? A space for some notes and reflection? A space for sharing?

It all remains to be seen.

(I'm a bit nervous at all the concepts/reading/ideas. Things are seeming real now!)
