Though, I had never heard of him until now, his credentials are hard to argue against: "Associate Professor. Not all of it.īut to answer my previously asked question: "Who is Scott McLeod?" My answer to that is pretty much this: Scott McLeod is the man with the plan! He's done so many things for technology, educational leadership, he is a recognized and well respected man. 2nd, my children would only have a limited amount of "free" time on the "computer" or what ever new devise(s) they have developed a decade from now for people to sit down and be entertained by. There would be blocks and regulators and monitors to record what cites he/she goes to and how often. But I have at least 2 thoughts behind this: 1st There is no way on earth that I am going to grant a child free, uncontrolled access to the internet.
I also asked him how to get the odiogo widget to work since I can't get it to work anymore.
Anyway, I left a comment that said reminded him I was back on his blog to look for an update and to let him know I was going to post my C4T for him. His thoughts this time: "schools and libraries need to become more like learning-literacy playgrounds than managed corals.". While he was preparing for this, he came across an article that had a quote that got him to think about the school system, yet again.
One of his presentations will be about instructional potentials of data visualization and infographics. I thought it was fine because he's been preparing for the NCTIES Conference later in the year which is not only the ISTE affiliate for his home state but also because it is a very prevalent conference. Warlick apologized to his loyal blog readers why he hadn't posted a blog in an unusual amount of time. A final quote to end this summary "It is so important to realize that a critical element of being a master learner today is the network of people you connect yourself to."Ĭ4T #2 for David Warlick. He recommended to follow #Educon and Here's a link to the Educon 2.4 website. Click to their twitter pages, and follow them. he continued on and suggested this technique: to search for a hastagged event, such as #edm310, and look to the people who are most frequently posting messages about the conference, linking to blog posts about the conference, or linking to resources being mentioned and demonstrated at sessions. In his blog he said to focus on an event, a gathering, or even an issue(as a good starting point to find people to follow), rather than focusing on one person’s follow list. It asnwered a couple of my questions such as: “Who should I follow?” “Where can I find them?” “How often should I get on twitter?”. While I was reading over his blog (rather, listening to a podcast while I was reading over his blog), I saw some cool gadgets and widgets, (which I have now placed on my blog page).
According to his blog post "Follow That Conference", his most resent appearance was at the Encyclomedia Conference in Oklahoma City where he delivered a presentation about self directed professional development (learning networks). He has made loads of appearances all over the nation, speaking at many a conferences about many things. One of his recognizable attributions is the Sons of Citation Machine Website and here's a link to the Citation Machine Blog Page.
After that, they got back on the bus and headed back to school after a great day at the Museum!ĭavid Warlick is an educator, a writer, a programmer,a public speaker, and a very successful entrepreneur. They observed a bunch of cool reptiles, they went on a spacecraft, watched a dust tornado form, and even traveled back in time to visit the dinosaurs! They traveled back to the present and went to the electricity show and then went to the Omni Theatre to see another presentation. She, and the rest of her class, went to the Museum of Science in Boston.

I am under the impressio that he really had a wonderful time on his holiday! Then they went to a beach and observed huge waves. Kane wrote about a recent sleep over "holiday" at his Papa's farm! He saw a lot of cows and "a" goat. My Summary of Kane J Blog Post My Holiday By Kane J.:įor my very first C4K (Comments For Kids) Assingment, I was assigned a young man named Kane J.
