=Welcome to the SOCSD Collaboration Wiki: = = = =[|wiki'sII.ppt] =

We will be using this WIKI district wide to support and enhance our work. More information regarding this initiative will be coming to you in the future. Today is an exciting day! As a collective, collaborative, professional learning community, we will be working on enhancing instruction to meet the needs of the 21st century learner. We are all 21st century learners.

Our skill development related to existing technologies will be enhanced. Please apply this new learning to your work while keeping your eye on the essential components of 21st century learning.

Think about these 21st century outcomes as you enhance your work: = =
 * Critical thinking/problem solving skills
 * Collaborative/Leadership skills
 * Adaptability and ability to use a variety of tools
 * Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
 * Effective oral, written, and presentation skills
 * Ability to access, analyze and process information
 * Curiosity and imagination
 * Adapt and apply emerging technologies

To begin the session today please take a look at this 21st century learning example provided by Dorothy Taylor, School Library Media Specialist at SOMS.

One of the tags assigned was socsd. If you are tagging a creation it would be good to also assign it an socsd tag. Then, if we are looked for a video or any other type of tagged creation we can quickly find things created by our fellow socsd teammates.]

Thank you Dorothy. If you haven't visited Teacher Tube, you really should. There are some great videos out there that you can use in your instruction.
