Please plan to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers tomorrow (Wednesday) at http://EdTechTalk.com/live at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World Times. One of our guests will be Kyle Meador, the Director of Education at Our School at Blair Grocery, New Orleans. I met Kyle on Edutopia’s “official PBL Camp kickoff” this Monday. This was a webinar led by Suzie Boss, and it was “attended by more than 100 campers. If you missed the live event, you can view an archived recording, and/or download the slide presentation.” Suzie will be joining us on Teachers Teaching Teachers as well.

Edutopia’s Problem-Based Learning Camp

is a four-week online collaboration to give us experience in the planning and implementation of a project for students of all grade levels. We’ll use a series of Web 2.0 tools in the planning and collaboration process. This will not only give us experience using the tools, but will also show us meaningful ways to implement them in our own classrooms.

 (They had to close registration, but all of the materials will be open to everybody and there is PBL wiki. Teachers Teaching Teachers welcomes anybody from the camp, where Paul Allison is participating.)To learn more about Kyle Meador’s school, Our School at Blair Grocery, check out this video. Then click here to visit our photo slideshow. This is well worth your time!

In addition to Kyle Meador and Suzie Boss, we will welcome two teachers from the Live Oak Writing Project which is on the coast in Mississippi. Alicia Blair who was with us last week, will return with a colleague Stacey Ferguson. We have also invited other teachers from the Gulf Coast to join us!Won’t you join us as we listen to “Voices on the Gulf,” and continue to plan curriculum with the teachers there.
