Learning Curve

Just when I thnk I know a thing or two about Digital Literacy and Technology Integration within academic frameworks, a.k.a. curriculum, I get thrown a learning curve. And that’s okay. I’ve learned to work with some measure of comfort outside my comfort zone. I take risks and understand that learning can be messy, that “it is what it is, until it isn’t.” I’ll make a VoiceThread and chant these maxims as reminders. So it is that I am venturing into yet another new school blog for my students, setting up yet another annual blogroll, and why not add to the LC (I should have called this blog Learning Curve) a new (for me) twist: Google Docs. So, here we go again, this time with a PPLN Survey, largely copied from Jennifer Dorman’s (a.k.a. Cliotech) DEN Leadership Council presentation at the Discovery Educator Network’s Annual Leadership Council event in July.

I’ve had some issues with Google Docs, but that’s part of my learning curve. Got to go there if I want you to follow, so it’s learning by doing. So, here goes my second attempt. Please take the survey online and click submit when you are finished. You won’t have a Save feature, so complete the survey in one sitting. If all works well, your information will transfer to a spreadsheet where I will have everyone’s information. Why is this helpful for me? you? You’ll help me establish a base line reading of where you are digitally, and I can work from there.

Imagine a virtual drum roll (too late to embed media): IT WORKED. And that’s my learning curve for today.
