I've been looking for rubrics that really describe teacher proficiency with technology. So happy to find this. We want to help our teachers improve their skills and knowledge - something that they can relate to rather than a list of requuirements. Thanks!

Thank you! This was a wonderful article. Last year I taught my elementary students that the non fiction work they created started from their own frame of reference making them the experts of their own papers. They needed to ask a question and build on it. The poem is great. I am thinking of putting it up on the wall of my office.

I am constantly seeing things differently. It's common sense I argue. No one sees it. I think it is because I am dyslexic. We see everything differently.

Doug,
This fits so well into what we're studying as a school division right now, criteria based learning and critical thinking. You ask powerful questions to which students may respond in a variety of ways, but which demand deeper thinking, more active learning, and perhaps collaboration...all signs of a positive, progressive learning environment. Thanks for the forward. I'm forwarding this entry to our Alberta Initiative for School Improvement people for sharing in our PD session this Friday. If admin gives us time.

So funny!! I want them all -- or most of them...oh no! I'm being as vaguely annoying as that other thing!
So if we get downsized we should go into the T-shirt business? Right!
