    About this Episode

    The more that I think about doing something "different" in my classroom, the more that I feel that process should be transparent. Not just for my students and their parents, but also for my administrators. Principals, Assistant Principals, and even Super-Intendants should be aware that there is change happening in the classroom. They should also want that change to occur, meaning that they should actively support it. But the only way that this is going to happen is if we start advocating for it. br> So, this podcast is all about how we should be writing our own job descriptions for the jobs that we dream about doing as teachers and presenting them to our administrators. I think that if we take this proactive approach, many will listen and start to think differently about what should be going on in the classroom. br> Show Notes: br> 00:00:00: Intro to my busy life 00:00:35: Academy of Discovery Search for Funding Academy of Discovery 00:01:01: The Bridge Project The Bridge Project Wiki 00:02:20: My brief brush with the law while recording Littleton Police 00:03:04: Education Transformation's First Podcast Education Transformation Blog 00:04:21: Maintaining My Blog Discourse about Discourse: The Blog 00:05:18: Cresthill's Language Arts Department The LA Cresthill Collaboration Wiki 00:06:37: Collaboration at home or abroad Paul Allison's Blog 00:09:14: Teacher 2.0 Job Description My Blog Post 00:11:56: Teacher Advocates 00:13:31: Creating Change Where I Am 00:15:48: Transparency at the teacher level 00:16:52: School 2.0 Duties 00:18:30: Static vs. Dynamic Teaching Jobs Paul's Metablog 00:20:28: Conclusion to Creating the New Definition Podcast Page

    A New Possibliity

    A New Possibliity
    This new possibility (which is now kind of old) is a total reversal of some of the things that I have consistently talked about and advocated for. This only comes about because of a great contact I have made with the principal of our online school (eDCSD). The possibility is this: Starting from a place of amazing technology and bringing in education rather than starting from a traditional school and trying to shove technology into it. What do you think about it

    Choices, Choices...
    This is the first podcast in over a month because I needed to upgrade for more storage space. It is not an enhanced podcast, but I'm sure it will be illuminating nonetheless. I was trying to figure out which content management system to use for The Academy of Discovery. I am still not sure if I picked the best one, but I am pretty confident that we are doing some great things. Check it out at http://academyofdiscovery.com.

    I vs. We

    I vs. We
    I don't know when it happened, but I have started using the word "we" in my podcast and blog when I would normally use the word "I." I believe that it is due to my increased awareness and involvement of the community that I have surrounded myself with. I also think that many more of "us" should start using "we" when "we" write and speak. It makes me feel like I am a part of something, that "we" are going in a particular direction. I want "us" to be aware of how amazing "our" community can become, so long as we don't fall into some of the pitfalls that I describe in the podcast. Let me know what you think of this idea at benwilkoff@gmail.com.The image for this podcast is by http://flickr.com/photos/factoids/.

    Why do I want to work here?

    Why do I want to work here?
    Well, this is the official podcast about my interview with Littleton Public Schools. Although I was passionate and had a great experience in the interview, I was not offered the job. That made my decision to leave the classroom much easier. I still think that this podcast is relevant to anyone else who is thinking about leaving the classroom. I also outline the idea that passion and vision are the two elements that will allow you to progress professionally and personally. I think that I will continue to explore these ideas in the classroom next year, and I am extatic that I will have one more year to impliment all of the ideas from this podcast into my practice.

    The Social Networks of Tragedies

    The Social Networks of Tragedies
    This podcast is pretty heavy: I was in Osawatomie, KS for the 4th of July. It flooded earlier in the week, and my sister-in-law lost her car and her apartment due to this natural disaster. This event really got me thinking about how we can use the technology that our schools provide (especially in 1:1 programs) in order to create social networks for a community. I hope that we can start putting together ideas like Steve Hargadon's Public Web Stations (link below) in non-crisis times. If you have any ideas about how to do this, please shoot me an e-mail at benwilkoff@gmail.com I am also interested in knowing if you would rather I don't include links and pictures with my podcast, but rather simply upload the mp3 file. If you have an opinion either way, please post a comment on this podcast.

    The Most Change For The Most Kids

    The Most Change For The Most Kids
    It is with some hesitation that I post this podcast. I am a teacher, and I will always be a teacher. However, I have been given the opportunity to do more. I have been recruited (although not formally given the position) for a Technology Integration Position in a nearby school district. This podcast is all about coming to terms with the idea of leaving the classroom so that I might create change and achieve School 2.0 in a larger way. At this point, I am very much interested in following my passion for finding solutions, and if this job provides solutions for more teachers and more students and also for my family, I don't know that I can do anything other than pursue it. I am, however, still looking for others who have either made this transition or who have rejected it in favor of the classroom. Please e-mail me at benwilkoff@gmail.com if you have any questions or ideas. Show Notes: 00:00:00: Intro to the Great Transition The Podcast Blog 00:00:58: Karl Fisch put me up to it.
