Ken Pruitt is doing something I like over here: http://kpruitt.edublogs.org/2007/07/21/call-for-data/ He’s calling his network for help. His network are those people with whom he communicates via his blog or their blog or skype or in Classroom20.ning.com, etc. He has learned the power of a network of friends and fellow educators to aid in his learning, and he’s asking those kind folks to share some ideas with him regarding how he might takle a project at his school. He’s being charged with helping to provide professional development to the teachers in his elementary and middle schools, and he’s looking for input on the most effective ways that it can be done.
I like it for a couple of reasons. First, the appeal shows that he’s feeling truly connected to his online community of friends and fellow educators, and so he’s actively networking with them to get ideas. Second – you get to see the really cute pictures of his new son on Flickr. J
In any case, if you’ve got a minute, maybe you could drop on over there and provide a helpful hint or two. Not that we’re trying to start a mass campaign of open helpdesk requests. This is a teacher who “gets it” asking for opinions from others who “get it” and who may have something they wish to share.
I like it.
