Open Mic 7pm Chgo: What Should 21st Century Schools Be?

September 8, 2009 by Liz

Join Us Tonight

An Apple for the Teacher Means Something Different

Once an apple for the teacher was gift of fruit for her desk. Should it now be a Macintosh Pro that will offer her resources and connectedness better than any school librarian might concieve of offering?

Computers, cell phones, and Internet apps … kids are learning in new ways from their interaction with new technology. What should 21st Century School be doing?

Oh, and bring example links to share —

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic Is On: Microblogs, Macroblogs, Which? What? Who?

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Has Twitter Ruined Blog Conversation?

Just a few years back, it was so simple. We met on each other’s blogs like meeting for coffee or wine at the back fence. Now we meet on so many public platforms that we’re talking more, faster, and in shorter bursts.

Are we losing the long coversations we used to have?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Bring Whatever You Like to Eat!

Let’s get some friends and enjoy the evening in the backyard. Let’s forget about bosses and mentors, outsourcing, or hiring a virtual assistant. We can talk about mosquitoes, and the fire burning, and maybe tell a story or two. Just like when we used to have time to do things like that …

Remember when?

Let’s bring it back for the heck of it!

The Unexpected Good Surprise of Being Here

A friend across the planet says something meaningful. A hero comments on something we’ve written. A new client signs up. We laugh out loud at something unexpected and fun!

Online life can be the best. Let’s talk about the one in a million moments that touched our lives.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)
