What does it mean to “be connected?”
You have taken control of your own learning.
You have made the decision to be a public learner, swimming through social media waters using tools like Twitter, Google + Linked In, blogs etc.
You understand and embrace the fact you are role-modeling for kids with every post, tweet, blog and digital footprint you make.
You try to contribute as much as you take from your PLN (Personal Learning Network).
You are committed to paying it forward with your connectivity, being a resource for others & building capacity with your own learning community.

5 Keys to Connected Teaching, Learning & Leadership1. Transparency as a cultural norm
2. Leadership that encourages innovation, edu-risk-taking and finds ways to say “yes.”
3. Evolution of policies around connectivity for all.
4. Collaborative transparency across stakeholders
5. Curation, anytime-anywhere learning opportunities, infusion of PLN-like culture of sharing amongst organization
TRANSPARENCY
!
Offline AND Online
GLASS WALLS > Brick & mortar. Share your story.
Tweeting minutes, notes, In-Service learning events with follow-up posts
“The smartest person in the room IS THE ROOM.”
Leadership
!
Embracing “Lead Learner” mentality.
Finding ways to “say yes” to stakeholders.
Role modeling edu-risks, global collaboration, hashtag participation
Blurring lines between local and global PLN.
POLICY
Built to protect organization or encourage innovation on the part of all stakeholders?
Who has a consistent seat at the policy table?
Seeing through the lens of students, teachers, parents, leaders. How much time does edtech leadership spend gaining perspective?
Student voice as a key to meeting their evolving needs.
Got Balance?
COLLABORATIVE TRANSPARENCY
Some 2-way communications tools: TodaysMeet, Google Apps, Evernote, Google+, Facebook, PollEverywhere, Livestreaming, Blogs, Twitter Youtube, Instagram
Newest collaboration tool for me - Voxer.
Let’s Go LIVE To The Field
School leaders discuss use of Voxer to collaborate, build relationships and go beyond 140 characters.
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE LEARNING FOR ALL!
Recognizing organizational hashtags, chats for “credit”
Flipped faculty meetings, learning opportunities for students, staff & community
School/District EdCamps & ParentCamps
Online Courses (e.g. Twitter 101 for Parents & Educators)
You’re connected. Now What?
