The Sessions
The opening sessions of CEM featured a spectacular lineup of thought leaders and influencers. Even the keynotes were highly interactive and audience-driven–as events about online community should be–and we’re sorry if you weren’t able to attend in person. But we can offer you the next best thing–full recordings of every session, video, audio, audience chat, link-sharing, and everything.

One joy of teaching is that each school year is a new beginning. I always loved the first 6 weeks, because it was the time for students and teachers to work together to establish norms, expectations and build a culture of respect in the classroom (and beyond). Later in my teaching career, I realized this was also the best time to articulate my own goals for personal and professional development, and establish strategies to achieve them. We are hopeful that this kickoff event, and subsequent forum discussion will be a clearinghouse for sharing our personal goal setting strategies, and our advice to each other for how to establish the best classroom culture possible.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

Looking forward to Dr. Connie Yowell’s talk about transforming the learning landscape (through connected learning) and the Hive Learning Networks. We need more discussion at a national level on networked approaches to learning.
I enjoyed reviewing the topics for Connected Education Kick-Off presentations. I look forward to reading and joining in the webinars in the future.
