"School. . .wasn't much back then, either. The teachers didn't care. No personal warmth or contact. No encouragement," his bitter smile striking, a result of his longing for education, "meant most of us [brothers, sisters] ended up in manual labor jobs."
"I joined the military early at 18, and I've come out alright. . . ." and looking over at me, he said again with the force of experience, "Education is the one thing they can't take away from you! So study hard!, because if you don't, you'll miss the boat!"

My journey....
“As a thirteen year old, I had a profound fear of computers. I'd attended Camp Chip-A-Bit at Trinity University, and aside from enjoying playing Outpost on an Apple //+, I hated programming.”
When my father expressed his decision to buy me a computer, my mom promptly challenged him, "He's terrible in math. He's not going to grow up to be a programmer."
Learning Conversations via Electronic Bulletin Board Services (BBSs)
That Apple //e and a 300 baud modem gave me access to a community of minds...and, I spent time writing in BBS forums, exploring new software and how it could facilitate communication, essentially, learning to be social online before I turned 18.

How have you allowed technology to change who you are and what you do?
Mandy Pels, Argyle ISD
Human beings are social animals. Our lives depend on other humans...Our connections to others are key to not only our survival, but also to our happiness and the success of our careers. Source: http://goo.gl/
how successful would we be in separating our teens from the devices that connect them?
to what degree do mobile devices enable us to be more human than schools have allowed us to be in the past?

A recent survey of 25 technology directors in U.S. school districts revealed that every single one was testing or using the iPad in schools.
Within five years, they expect to have more tablets per student than computers – a total of one iPad per six students, compared to the
current 10 students per computer.
In schools, tablet has become synonymous with iPad.

Top 5 Technologies Changing the Education Ecosystem(Bill Rust, Gartner Group, TCEA2012 Presentation to System Administrators) http://goo.gl/b75T0
1. Personally-owned devices - BYOT/BYOD2. Change in primary device form factor3. Multiple devices - Device and OS agnostic
solutions.
4. Customer intimacy on par with operational efficiency...Infrastructure folks will have to
work harder to support these new technologies.
5. Opportunities to change and refine the organization and delivery of instruction.

what does the term
“post-digital school”(ubiquitous access to technology changing your life and work)
mean in the context of conversations you are having in your school or district?
what does the term “post-digital school mean for you?"
It marks the transition from the era where we’re excited by the shiny new digital toys that we have, and start to
become excited by the changes that these shiny
not-so-new toys are making in the way we live, in the objects we have around us.

The capability to show patients their results, radiology studies and teaching aides is invaluable in the patient-centered medical home models.
Integration of tablets with other devices (stethoscopes, imaging) and the capability to carry a multitude of textbooks and instant journal access should accelerate the revolution in medical education already occurring.”

“I see great potential for tablets to function as teaching tools for both medical education and with patients.
post-digital school?
To allow or not to allow personal smartphones and other mobile computing devices into the healthcare setting? That's one thought becoming less of a question and more a reality check as bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives become imperative for CMIOs and IT departments.

...you can't afford a 1:1 on top of everything you already do, but we are starting to learn that there are a lot of
things you can stop doing when you become a post-digital school.

School boards spend countless hours figuring out how to formulate policies limiting the use of cell phones, iPods, and Internet access in school buildings...they must stop seeing these changes as threats and instead identify the opportunities they present.

With over 67 million kids using social media (e.g. Facebook), how can we make learning possible where our children spend their time?
...in June 2011, Consumer Reports estimated that about 7.5 million people who use Facebook are younger than 13.

Educators must learn to take into account and exploit for positive ends the social networking available on the Internet.
Educators must not allow fear of the harm that can be done by these developments to divert attention from their efforts to invent ways to exploit the good.Source: Philip Schlechty’s Leading for Learning

How can social media use in high school prepare students for life?
Those who cannot claim computers as their own tool for exploring the world never grasp the power of technology...
They are controlled by technology as adults--just [they were]...controlled [by]
them as students.

“By understanding how students may be positively using these networking technologies in their daily lives and where the as yet unrecognized educational opportunities are, we can help make schools even more relevant, connected and meaningful to kids."

how do these combine?Tip #1 - You must first set a vision of what's possible in play.
Your job isn’t to strike people out, it’s to help them “put the ball in play.”
http://goo.gl/U6qKx
Tip #2 - Identify needs that can be met by strategic use of staff and technologies available.
Build a star team by focusing on strengths, notweaknesses.

Tip #3 - Acknowledge past efforts that failed to be implemented fully.
Each failure provides insight in how to

Tip #4 - Connect with powerful stakeholders.
Everyone loves success, especially those who are paying for it.

Tip #5 - Align the plan with state and national goals.
Mutual purpose can begin with a commitment to common goals.
http://goo.gl/KocTR
Tip #6 - Run to the “resistors.”
Ask yourself what you really want for yourself, for others and the organization.
http://goo.gl/gJtBG
Tip #7 - Be transparent in your communications.
Build mutual respect and mutual purpose, or you may just be wasting your time.

Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme.
The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information. A content curator cherry picks the best content that is important and relevant to share with their community.

when the world is changing at light-speed, only your commitment to sharing what you're learning endures...don’t be afraid to dwell in possibility.
edgy communications = vulnerable, authentic, transparent, human.
