Webpage as graphic (the site I couldn’t find in the podcast)
How Much Longer will a Degree Matter?
Why Parents Help their Children Violate Facebook 13 year old rule
This podcast was recorded on Nov. 15th and covers the start of course 4 what to expect, some reflections on course 3, and a great discussion around technology integration and the ways in which it influences teaching and learning

PDF of examples of student projects
Use this PDF to think about the different levels of technology use in the classroom. Do any of these projects hit the redefinition stage of technology use in the classroom?
Could Badges for Life Long Learning be our Tipping Point?
Gave me a headache in a good way.

(Look outside this cohort as well…there are new cohorts at YIS and AES…it’s your chance to encourage the next wave of COETAILERS!)
Thinking on final project (counts as 5th blog post more explanation in virtual sessions)
I’m not sure where the time went but Course 3 has already wrapped up and we’re on to course 4.
The good news is the end is in site! This is the last course before we turn you loose for course 5 to create, implement and show us what you’ve learned through the first 4 courses. More on that later…for now though we’re getting into the pedagogy of learning in a digital world.

Virtual Face-to-Face sessions:
We have gotten good feedback about the virtual session that we ran last time so we’ve added two more into this course as we’re getting deep into some heavy pedagogical thinking. So mark your calendars:
Nov. 15 5:00 – 6:30 Bangkok time (GMT+7)
Nov. 29 5:00 – 6:30 Bangkok time (GMT+7)
See ya on the 15th!

Teachers Teaching Teachers, on Twitter: Q. and A. on ‘Edchats’ – NYTimes.com:
Each week, thousands of teachers participate in scheduled Twitter “chats” around a particular subject area or type of student. Math teachers meet on Mondays, for instance, while science discussions happen on Tuesdays, new teachers gather on Wednesdays and teachers working with sixth graders meet Thursdays. (Jerry Blumengarten, Twitter’s @cybraryman1, posts this helpful list of educational chats.)
Why Teachers Should Join Twitter…What I have Learned as a Twitter Newbie « adaptivelearnin:
Okay, I admit that I rebelled against joining Twitter for the longest time. I had friends and family members urging me to join. I often said, “Why should I join another social networking site? I have not used MySpace for a while and am quite happy with Facebook.” Those who were part of the Twitter community kept insisting that I join because in their words it was better than Facebook. I had no idea what I was missing on Twitter. Months would pass and I was quite determined that I did not need Twitter. I was fine without it. I kept social networking for my personal life. I did not see why I needed it otherwise.
