- W256061246 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] AN ACTIVE TWEETER, Steven Anderson regularly exchanges ideas on how to enhance K-12 classroom instruction with educators from all over the country--including some of the best-known thought leaders in the field. Last November, Anderson, district instructional technologist at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools in Winston-Salem, NC, mingled with many of those experts at Authorspeak, a three-day conference in Indianapolis that brought together 99 of the nation's top authors and experts in education for presentations, panels, and networking sessions. In addition to attending sessions, Anderson spoke informally with leading thinkers like Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach--both of whom he already was interacting with regularly on Twitter. To be able to sit down and chat with the author of a book that has great meaning to you is huge, Anderson says. They were so accessible, and the fact that I had relationships with so many of them through social media made those face-to-face meetings much easier and more meaningful. We already knew where each other was coming from, so we could just dive right into those deeper discussions. In a not-so-long-ago era--before the proliferation of social media, Skype, and high-speed internet technology that made multimedia presentations and real-time, travel-free communications seamless and inexpensive--a typical educator looking for ideas from some of the nation's leading thinkers on education was mostly limited to their published works. That has changed dramatically. Through informal social media channels as well as more formal formats like online courses and webinars, today many of the best-known authors and speakers are easily accessible, even when they are geographically remote. Before, we just had books and articles, says Robert J. Marzano, a leading education researcher whose more than 30 books and 150 articles cover everything from instruction, assessment, writing, and standards implementation to cognition, effective leadership, and school intervention. Now we have a number of gradations in how much depth we go into, ranging from a 140-character tweet to the in-depth treatment of a book. Along with the more traditional mediums, Marzano has Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail to communicate with educators. He leads online courses and webinars, and he participates in live conferences such as Authorspeak, where his readers are quite comfortable approaching him, often because they have been in touch with him through these other means. Social media has added to the flow of information, Marzano says. It's much more of an ongoing dialogue now. Nicholas Provenzano, an English teacher at Grosse Pointe South High School in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, says, Ten years ago when I started teaching, if you wanted information from a leading author you had to read the book and then write a letter or, if you could find an e-mail address, send an e-mail that you might get a response to. At Authorspeak, Provenzano conversed with many of his favorite educational thought leaders, people he knew about not only through their books but through their tweets. Barely a month earlier, Provenzano and a student met with US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. After Provenzano tweeted a link to a post on his blog in which he opined that the Department of Education was coming up short in its use of social media, he was contacted by Duncan's office, sparking an ongoing conversation that led to a meeting with the education secretary when he was in nearby Detroit. Meg Ormiston is an author and former classroom teacher who is actively involved in professional development and focused on changing instructional practice in the classroom, with a particular emphasis on technology. She says, I'm always looking for ways to continue professional development beyond the face-to-face session. …" @default.
