Episode 24 - Personal Learning Networks

This week, the conversation centered around Personal Learning Networks. Is there a difference between a face to face network and an online network? How difficult is it to develop a face to face network? The listeners in the chat room had much to say and some interesting links to share so be sure to check it out.

Episode 23 - Differentiating Instruction for ALL Students

What began as an open mike idea, quickly developed into a conversation about the necessity to differentiate instruction for ALL students, not just those with IEPs or 504s. Maria Knee and Lisa Parisi were joined by Amanda Marrinan, all the way from Brisbane, Alice Mercer, from California, and Sheila Adams, in New Hampshire. Sheila also ran our UStream so the show was heard through that venue this week.

Here is the audio and chat archive.
