Can you believe this newsletter is a collection of ideas from over 100 people? There are six excellent articles focusing on Diversity, Web 2.0, Moodle/Drupal, and iPod Education. Then 100 of you submitted your favorite web 2.0 tool So with all of the submissions I am proud to present to you the winter issue of SIGilt’s quarterly newsletter innovative learning.
The newsletter can be accessed through our wiki http://sigilt.iste.wikispaces.net/file/view/Winter+Newsletter.pdf
However, can I ask our members to do one thing for me? Share this newsletter with your colleagues. Click forward on the email, print out a copy to share, and have a discussion about innovation.
If you would like to write for innovative learning the call for articles for our spring issue will begin on March 1st.
The purpose of today’s message is to offer up an opportunity to share things that are innovative in your school/business. As many of you know SIGilt will be publishing the fall copy of innovative learning in mid-October and has decided to put in a section called, “What is Innovative?”
All you need to do is visit the innovative learning fall survey and fill out the requested information.
If you are curious what a finished example would look like see below.
Lisa Sjogren (Osseo Area Schools, MN) has been working on a team to develop an online and on demand training module for district teachers. These courses are designed to provide an hour overview, skills for implementation, and integration into the classroom. Each class is designed around a software, web 2.0, or hardware solution. She may be contacted for further information at sigilt.communicationschair@gmail.com.
We hope to publish a wide selection of innovative ideas as possible.
As many of you know the call for participation for ISTE 2010 went out this week. Instead of the traditional business meeting SIGilt has elected to sponsor a poster session. So instead of sitting in the business meeting, you as members can contribute a poster to the session and share your learning with a wide range of participants.
To get your poster session considered for the SIGilt sponsored poster event.
This way we can work with the program chairs to ensure that all who designated “SIGilt” will be in a poster session together.
The call for proposals closes on October 7, 2009. So don’t delay!
We are still collecting paragraphs for the fall SIGilt newsletter, innovative learning. All members of SIGilt are encouraged and invited to write for the newsletter.
The call for articles is now open until September 14. To be considered for publication, members will need to submit a paragraph by visiting and completing the SIGilt Call for Articles form. Authors for the fall issue will be contacted September 18 and final articles will be due October 8.
