Habits of Highly Effective Teachers
I came across this infographic on The 7 habits of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology. Looking at these seven habits I realized these are also 7 habits of highly effective teachers. This goes to show teachers good at integrating technology into their classrooms are typically just good teachers. Good teachers don't use technology because they have to, they use technology because it helps their students learn.
It's not about the technology. It's about the teacher.

Personalized PD for teachers? - Home - Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog

Education Update:Wake-Up Call:Honest A's: Taking an Ethical Stance on Cheating
-
- I think the biggest demand teachers face today is cultivating a mindset in students in which they will hold themselves accountable in life as citizens and in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
- Teachers are always faced with "molding the minds of the future," but what if, in the 21st century, it is the mold that needs to be changed?
- As future citizens, students must learn to collaborate, and the burden to show them how to do that also falls on educators.
- A good teacher in this day and age, I think, is someone who can teach students how to learn.
- But how does an educator go about fostering this brand of communal inquiry and deliberation? They themselves have to keep learning, growing, and adapting.

2 Student Beliefs That Can Change Everything
- We know the relationship between feedback and achievement is strong. What about the relationship between feedback, personalization and, hence, motivation?
- Personalized learning and feedback – and, more specifically, personal recognition for work well done – matters greatly:
-
1. My school is committed to building the strengths of each student.
2. I have at least one teacher who makes me excited about the future.

Interesting Map Resources
Okay , I like maps. So when I come across map resources on the web I like taking the time and checking out the resource. Here are a few maps I have come across in the last couple of weeks.The All American Music Map Find where a genre of music is most popular. It's not always where you expect.
See location of a particular teams Baseball Fans based on Facebook Likes
A map looking a little closer at regional baseball fans. This is really interesting when looking at teams who are in close proximity to each other. Cubs/White Sox Mets/Yankees Redsox/Yankees Dodgers/Angels etc.
March Madness map of fans from 2013 based on Facebook likes.
NFL map of fans also based on Facebook likes.
Here is a map showing where nobody lives in the US based on US 2010 census data. Now compare to this map which shows where people do live.
Here is a map that shows where people in the US are biking and running.
If you know of any other off the wall types of maps share them in the comments section.

Teachers as Technology Trailblazers: Personalizing PD: It's About Empowerment; Not Tools
- The magic ingredient for personalized learning isn’t prescriptive content; it’s empowerment. When people decide what they want to learn, individualized ownership creates the magic.
- Personalized professional development is driven by teacher empowerment. Teachers choose the topics, the formats, and the outcomes. Learning isn’t metered out or required, it’s grown.

How Do They Do It for 180 Days?
My questions are how do students sit all day long for 180 days of "learning"? How can they stay focused on the work for that length of time? I'm not sure I could do it for 180 days. I also wonder if teachers had to experience this kind of learning would they keep teaching the same way?
