Additionally, winning the 2010 Best New Blog award in this incentive brought SpeechTechie a lot of recognition and new readership, so THANKS again to those who supported me in that round, and to Edublogs as well. Obviously social media has been transformative for me and my practice and I wanted to participate for that reason again this year.

In its 2016 National Education Technology Plan, the Department of Education emphasizes model approaches to digital learning.

Every click we make is monitored by an algorithm that learns us. But if all we do is take, learn, discern, and lurk are we becoming true stewards? How can I use that for good? These questions led me to think about my own life. Do I crowdsource? Have I ever sought to crowdfund for a greater goal? YES on both accounts.

Last week I enjoyed the great variety of edCamp Global sessions across a variety of platforms–Periscope, Twitter chats, and Google+ Hangouts. In addition to addressing the CCSS ELA Standards for Speaking and Listening, podcasts are convenient, portable, informal learning experiences. The panel discussed the benefits of kidcasts.
