New Definition of Collaboration
During the Monday, August 25 presentation, Louise and I talked about the new definition of collaboration and shared a brief video segment from the a keynote presentation at this summer’s National Educational Computing Conference. The entire video is actually available for viewing as a webcast on the internet by clicking here. You will be prompted for first name, last name and email. Use the following: first name: stsd; last name:stsd; email: or use your own. (The actual interview with the two teachers starts at around 24:00. You can scroll ahead to that point.)
In the video, you’ll hear directly from these two teacher who used technology and new ways of collaboration to re-imagine their classrooms. We both found this keynote very inspiring and hope you will too. If you watch the video, please leave a comment below!

This presentation was excellent for showing what true collaboration is: global outreach for a common good. These two highly motivated and innovative teachers convince you that anything can be achieved if only you are motivated to move beyond the white board. From watching this video, I realized that our new approach to the IP with this years’ class could and should go global. After collaborating with my colleague and the students, I hope to post on iearn.org and hopefully we can emulate the new definition of collaboration.
RJ...thanks for taking the time to watch the video! It sounds like you are going to try some new things with IP. Going global sound terrific! Keep me posted.
