    Hi Everyone,
    I, too, was unable to attend and also wonder what I missed. Is the next meeting scheduled?
    Thanks!

    Hi all!
    I was unable to attend the last gathering and was wondering if some folks who were there in person or online could provide an update on what transpired?

    Thanks!

    Folks-

    Later this month, I’ll be leaving the DOE in order to join Educate Maine as project director for a new initiative called Project Login. That means my last day supporting MaineLearning.net will be Friday, March 15.

    Since my federally-funded contract was already nearing completion, I’ve been working with David Connerty-Marin and Jeff Mao…[Read more]

    Ed Brazee posted an update in the group Group logoDigital Citizenship in Schools 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    FYI, a recent blog post of mine through Bright Futures about digital citizenship. Everyday I read another dozen (or more) references to inappropriate student or adult actions online. My list today includes a high school teacher tweeting nude photos to a student; another teacher who was fired for sexting a student; a middle school student arrested…[Read more]

      Thanks for posting Ed, and it is okay to feel grumpy about this issue. More does need to be done to work with the whole school community. Many Maine schools are thinking about digital citizenship and implementing some instruction for students but it is my feeling that many schools are currently overwhelmed with standards work and budgets. I…[Read more]

      Thanks for the reminder, Ed. It does seem hard to fit everything into the busy school day. I think it makes the most sense to address these issues as they apply to student work. For example, my 5th graders were questioning a specific student’s email. I suggested that perhaps they could speak directly to each other since the students in question…[Read more]

    Would it be possible for someone to update me on any decisions that were reached at the meeting on Wednesday? Thanks.

    My phone line is down; don’t know why. Not my day. Hopping on a neighbor’s wireless.

    Here’s some input as you enter into group discussions and recommendations:

    1. It seems to me that ideally, we would use the funding formula to support digital learning in the communities where the resources do not exist to provide it. I also liked Jeff’s…[Read more]

    Hi everyone,

    I’ve tried calling into Room 500 but cannot get through. I’ll work on trying to put together some thoughts on the Decision Matrix and hopefully we can connect.

    Thanks,

    I bet with all the techno-knowledge in the room we’ll get you connected. Does someone have your Skype name and cell number? What other info might we need to enable all options? email in case we want to try Google Hangout?
