Communications via ICT resources are often public in nature and general school rules for behavior and communications apply. It is expected that users will at all times comply with district standards and will act in a responsible and legal manner, in accordance with district standards, as well as with state and federal laws.

All distributed content shall follow the standards for ethical behavior in regard to information and communication technologies by showing respect for the principles of intellectual freedom, intellectual property rights and the responsible use of the information and communication technologies.

Students and staff may also, at times, use their own personal information and communication technologies for educational purposes. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all members of the school community to use technology responsibly, ethically and respectful for the work of others.

Refrain from using social network tools for personal use.

Let’s not forget RTI, formerly know as differentiation

This is just the list of federal initiatives. I won’t even delve into what your individual state and district have added. And this is all since 2000!

So let’s go back to our poor bedraggled classroom teacher - Married to content because that’s why he or she became a teacher in the first place, worried about evaluation, budget cuts, classroom management, grading papers, all aforementioned federal/global initiatives, and then sit him or her down for two or three days per year of sit & git PD. Are you wondering why faculty may seem reticent on PD days about participating in what you worked so hard to plan?

The first paragraph, of the U.S. Dept of Ed’s 2010 National Ed Tech Plan executive summary, states that education fosters cross-border, cross-cultural collaboration. I have taught in districts that serve populations the lowest, middle and highest ends of the socioeconomic spectrum but I have yet to work in a school district that encourages communication and collaboration beyond the district perimeter.

This is not just a random observation. I co-chair the Consortium of School Networking’s (CoSN) Awards Committee. Building communities and partnerships with external organizations is one of the five criteria for both the TEAM and the Withrow CTO award, but it is consistently the weakest link among the submissions for both awards.

Why, a decade into the in the 21st century, given all the free resources that are available to help us engage in participatory learning, is K-12 teaching and learning bound by geography and real time?

I have given this a lot of thought over the past year because I firmly believe that connected teachers grow connected learners. If you don’t believe me, talk to my friend Shannon Miller form Iowa. She’ll convince you.

Unfortunately growing connected learners is exactly what many K12 schools are not doing.

Motivated, self-directed educators are reaching out to other colleagues and organizations for professional learning.

I’ve participated in a few events with Eric Sheninger. When he tells his story, the first thing he talks about is how he used to block everything and confiscate mobile phones – until he, himself got involved in social media. That’s when everything changed. And change it did! I spoke with Eric at an edWeb.net-sponsored symposium for Online Communities of Practice in Washignitn last August. He is implementing innovative practices that promoted outreach and connectedness on a systemic level for evaluation and professional development.

But if that is not a part of the teacher’s culture, students will have very few such experiences. So it is incumbent upon school districts to promote the value of online teaching and learning for professional growth and evaluation. That is the only way that students will benefit from the same kind of learning and develop the kind of empathy and understanding that emerges form working with diverse communities. I am guessing that trend will remain until districts explicitly encourage teachers and students to reach out for those collaborations and partnerships.
