On Page 71 of the Connected Educator you will find the detailed directions for co-constructing knowledge here.
Create and add your slide that answers the following questions:
Connected Learning
Building Collaboration
What are our guiding principles for how we should operate and work together?
I think that we know one another to be as knowledge as the next. We need to succeed and learn with one another to create a better world to live in. we have already come so far and the more we work together the further we will go
Our guiding principles for operating and working together as connected learners should include creating personal and professional networks. We should engage in collective and continuous inquiry, participate in thoughtful conversations. We should support reciprocal learning so that the instructor and student are co-learners.
We exist to try to create collaborative learning. We utilize resources that encourage collaboration and collective learning.
We want to create a culture of collaboration and reciprocal learning. We want to create excitement in learning and sharing what we have learned with others using collaborative tools.
Schools need to look outside of traditional teacher/student roles and utilize the myriad of technological tools that are available these days. Students thrive in a culture of using collaborative tools such as blogs, tweets, facebook, Schoology, ipads and other ways of communicating electronically.
Connected Learners
We should create positive relationships to ensure that we build a collaborative culture
We exist because not one of us is as good as all of us put together.
We can all contribute to improved individual practice.
We want to create a collaborative culture that includes:
The continued development of technology has allowed us to have a deeper understanding of the world. We should encourage students to collaborate with people of different cultures to help them prepare for their unknown future.
Why do we exist?
We exist only to fulfill what we desire most. We have ethics common sense to tell use right and wrong and only the individual can see what will lead them to full belief on their own personal existence
Connected Learners
What are our guiding principles:
Why do we exist?
To enlighten one another.
What do we want to create?
What should school look like?
Indoor and outdoor spaces for learning
What do we want to create?
I think if you asked this question to everyone in the world the answer would be a better life for all. But can we really create this? If we succeed what will be created next. I think the answer to this question only raises more question and i know that, that answer is not obtainable..
What should school look like to support the needs of today's learners.
I think that having an extreme amount of external sources for the students to learn on would be a great start. Give them the ability to form and ask questions, but also give them a mean to answer that question. I think having technology be a huge part of learning is a great start. If we can give them the resources and abilities to succeed then they will
Guiding Principles: We share the belief that none of us is as good as all of us. We are here to learn from each other in a trusting relationship, and everyone’s input is valuable.
We exist to foster an open, innovative, challenging learning environment
We want to create a community with shared vision and values, willing to explore new ways of learning
Today’s learners need schools without pre-determined expectations.
Our guiding principles are that: We are smarter together. WE should value all opinions and respect each other.
We exist to encourage and grow a positive learning experience
We want to create students that are hungry for knowledge and have the skillset to appease that hunger.
What should schools look like to support the needs of today’s learners? Schools today should be digital in nearly all aspects and allow for un-plugged periods of recreation time.
Guiding Principles
We can expand our minds
by connecting and collaborating to solve the world’s problems
Why do I exist as
an educator?
I exist to work with others to create happiness and success for my students and community.

Google Docs is being used by Florida Inclusion Network (FIN) to share meeting notes, collaborate on documents, and share documents across the state with FIN facilitators. In Google Docs, you can give your collaborative partners various levels of access - some items to edit, others to read. We are finding it a great way to share ideas and to collaborate. Trust is there.

We are trying to create a risk free environment where teachers at all learning stages can come and learn at their own pace and in their own time for topics that matter to them.
We exist because we know that the training we are getting in traditional PD is not enough for the new generation of learners.
Schools should look like:

The Connected Educator Nickie McKeever
What are our guiding principles?
To constantly learn, reevaluate, and collaborate.
Why do we exist?
To provide opportunities for students to grow, achieve, and connect in an increasingly shrinking world. This is a fundamental right for all people.
What do we want to create?
Life-long learners who value diverse perspectives and work to improve their lives and the world around them.
What should school look like?
A place of acceptance, innovation, collaboration, and growth.
Why We Exist
Educators exist to help all children grow and learn as fast as their individual abilities allow. To do this we need to create an environment where each child will be motivated to explore, engage, and express themselves. They should feel safe enough to try things and learn from their mistakes. They should pursue their interests and share their learning. We must give timely feedback without negative consequences. @DrDougGreen
Space for group work
Technology available in various formats
Teachers as learners & facilitators
Acceptability
Permission to try new methods without fear
Patti Grayson
We exist to guide students in their learning...
We should operate as a network of concerned, connected educators who learn & share for the benefit of our students.
We want to create connected, passionate, life-long learners.
Schools should be comfortable, welcoming places,
equipped with the tools & technology students need to learn.

Our Connected Global Community
TRUST IS THE ISSUE
Building relationships of trust is essential in social media as well as in our schools and districts. How do we build that trust? Transparency is one key. We need to share enough of ourselves to become an individual with personality on the other end of our comments.
Congenial and Collegial
Roland Barth suggests that the personal and positive relationships that thrive in most schools are a beginning for developing those relationships on line. That was a new thought for me!
Let's all enjoy our new relationships! Starlene

We are all connected to one another because we share the same passion. We allow ourselves to be isolated when it is together that we can make so much greater difference. We are the Port in the Storm for many of our students. By connecting ourselves, our students, and the rest of the world, we can learn and grow with each other.
Why do we exist?
To see wonder in the faces of our students. To connect in ways that bring deep understanding and confidence in skills.

The Seven Norms of Collaboration:
Promoting a Spirit of Inquiry, Pausing, Paraphrasing, Probing,

Presuming Positive Intentions - Center for Adaptive Schools
Why We Exist
To ensure all students achieve their highest potential.
What We Want To Create
Students who have competence, confidence, courage, achieve their dreams, and are life long learners (Osseo Mission Statement)
What our schools should look like
A place where teachers and students learn together. A place for innovation
Our guiding principles are bringing in our unique ideas to add value to the group
We exist to accomplish goals that we set out in order to better our lives and the people around us
We want to create a society that learns off of each other and contributes to others success
Schools should integrate technology and demo tools students can use to connect with each other outside of the classroom
Guiding principles, why we exist, what to create, how schools should look...
Schools should not look like this. They are in the "waiting room" of change. I would love hours to become flexible for students and teachers as well as location. Some work will happen in pajamas and online, others in person. Schools won't be as behind on the newest technological hardware.
We exist to help kids fall in love: with learning, with their passion, with their independence, with discovery and success. We exist to guide students in content and how to. We exist to find relevance with and for kids. We exist for their success.
What do we want to create? Adults who travel, who read, who want to see/read different perspectives. Adults who can see multiple points of view and yet discern where the bias exists. Adults who love to learn on their own, who are inquisitive and curious. Adults who can pass on these traits to their children as well as help progress our society into the future...

1. What are our guiding principles for how we should operate and work together?
**We should all be congenial with each other. We also must cooperate with each other. But the most important thing to make sure that we are all "Connected Learners" is that we MUST have collegial relationships.
2. Why do we exist?
**We exist for the betterment of the students we teach. The more we colloborate and trust our collegues in our social network, the more we will learn and the better we will be able to teach our students.
3. What do we want to create?
**We ultimately want to create a social learning network that we feel comfortable sharing with; both giving advice/ideas and getting advice/ideas.
4. What should school look like to support the needs of today's learners?
** Schools should be open to all possibilities of social learning networks. There is a time and place for them and they can and should be used as a valuable learning tool. Kamie Gritt 7-12

Summary of distinguishing aspects of leader
The nature of leadership / John W. Gardner
The leadership of the school MUST be distributed. If we want students to feel a sense of ownership then teachers must also take a sense of ownership. That means they must have an ability to effect change in their school.
Mutual trust is a must! It has to go further than congenial.
Connecting for 21st Century Change
Let go and unlearn. It is difficult so take time to grieve!
Take risks!
Shared vision will carry your community to new heights!
Problem solving is often messy. Learn to grow in that difficult time. If you are taking risks, then even if you take the wrong path, you'll learn something from that experience. Try a different path the next time.
Learn to be collegial. It's ok to have differing ideas or opinions. When you can look past your own idea and try something new, you grow!

This is our guiding principle, our reason for being, and what schools strive to create!
Kari Catanzaro, Maconaquah Middle School, Bunker Hill, Indiana
Connected Learning!
We should foster, nurture, and maintain positive relationships!
We exist to love, to learn, to grow, and to share!
We want to create opportunities for our students to be the best that they can be!
There is no easy answer to what schools should look like to support the needs of today's learners. This changes constantly based on many factors.

Through this process of learning I hope to feel the outstretched hand of all those who are far more affluent in technology than I. The love of learning can be shared, built upon and created so that each one, can reach one, to teach one until we are all taught.

WHy Do We Exist?:
Educators exist to make our students realize and strive for their potentional. "Every child deserves someone who is absolutely crazy about them!" - unknown
What do we want to create?: I want to help shape children to have confidence and motivation to achieve beyond their goals to their dreams, with the background and knowledge to get them there. I want my students to be ready for the 21st century in order to be lifelong learners and achievers. It is important to me to have my students know that I care about them and their needs & futures.
What Should School look like to support Today's Learners?: Classrooms and schools should constantly change and adapt to technology advances as well as student interests and desires to learn. Common core has established the criteria to meet, but it is our duty to present it to students so they stay connected in a world that is ever changing and evolving.

Why do we exist?
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein
What do we want to create?
We want to create a safe space for inquiry, curiosity, experimentation, and reflection where all teachers are learners and all learners are teachers. A place where everyone can grow and succeed.
What should school look like to support the needs of today's learners?
Schools should be flexible both structurally and in terms of content. Nowhere in the world are there concrete walls separating math skills from written or oral skills. Art, music, and sport do not exist without proportion and vocabulary. Students and teachers should be active, self-directed learners exploring larger themes and the interconnectedness of disciplines through appropriate materials and resources.
"The art of teaching is
the art of assisting discovery."
Mark van Doren

Guiding Principles
to Working Together

"Learning is finding out what we already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, and teachers." -- Richard Bach
For my word cloud I chose a tree. In Collegial Relationships I envision the teachers as being the roots. They may be spread out in different directions but they come together at the trunk. The trunk is their common goal/purpose. If the teachers are fed with support, trust, openness, and respect then their goals /purpose will grow shown in the branches, leaves and fruit. Like fruit, the results of the collegial relationships have seeds. Hopefully when these seeds fall upon the minds of others, fellow teachers, administrator, community members, students ... growth will continue.

CROSSING BOUNDARIES
"...it is crucial that critical thinkers who want to change our teaching practice talk to one another, collaborate in a discussion that crosses boundaries..." bell hooks
We must always remember to work together with the consciousness that our differences are far less significant than our human likenesses.
We want to liberate our youth by giving them the keys to the kingdom of learning---curiosity, initiative, sensitivity, self-regulation, expressiveness, ability to pose the right questions and the ability to discriminate (Donald Graves, "Testing is Not Teaching")
Schools must look like nothing we are familiar with, and yet be comopletely familiar to our senses.
Melanie Stultz-Backus
Work together to teach how to learn, not what to learn.
Creating lifelong learners who want to learn and who know how to find new information (Dad, Grandma, grads should all be still learning!)
What should school look like? An ascending spiral, re-viewing with a new perspective while moving up
to new
levels of
learning!
Educators exist to help learners find their best path, to help them want to learn; to guide, rather than to bludgeon them with standardized assessments.
We should find a
way to help learners
navigate the way
to knowledge and
maybe even
wisdom!
Guiding Principles:

We exist to prepare our students for their future in the 21st Century..

Danette Bohman

Guiding Principles
We collaborate with collegiality in our global community of learners to ensure that our students have the very best education possible, rooted in our world-wide gathering of knowledge.
Why Do We Exist?
We must exist, for if we don’t we are isolated in a narrow room made up of nothing but our own individual knowledge…….
If we stay isolated, we imply we have all the knowledge necessary and dismiss the contributions that others might make to expand our knowledge…….
Isolated from the world, we are lonely and lost in a profession of mediocrity………
We cannot grow without
each other.
We will create life-long learners like ourselves who will show others the value of learning in collaboration with the people of the world and make strides toward ultimate peace!
What should school look like?
It certainly won’t look like a building with four walls with desks in rows! Look on the next slide for a hint of my vision!

We want to create a learning environment where everyone wants to reach organizational goals using processes and procedures that help students attain academic knowledge. Schools will need to work with communities and other services to analyze what students need. In order, to build a shared vision schools will need to put the continued needs of the students first, they will need to provide instructors with resources for continued professional growth. Educational systems will need to work with parents and surrounding communities to provide students with an education that will allow them to be effective and efficient professionals.
