UCEA BlogTalkRadio

Wow ... I just discovered BlogTalkRadio and wanted to add this resource to my eCollege course shell for the EdD students in my Leadership for Urban Schools class that starts this spring. Since I was not able to embed this link inside of eCollege, what I decided to do was to link the Leading with a Coaching Mindset blog to the eCollege course shell. There's more than one way to skin a technological problem, eh?

I also believe that those who sign up for BlogTalkRadio can do live broadcasts or save interviews as PodCasts. Just think of the possibilities here for us as educational leadership professors and for our students. These tech tools have come a long way. I can remember when I marveled at just being able to upload a file to an email rather than to have to mail a printed copy of the file across the country, or faxing it. Today, the tools are much more powerful. Our challenge now is to learn these new tools and figure out how to use them to enhance our own learning and that of our students.

There are multiple broadcasts available on this site. They are part of an interview series that links leadership to learning.

Enjoy this new site!

10 High Flyers on Twitter in Education Week

I just found this link to this article on 10 High Flyers on Twitter in Education Week. Read this article and weep. Oh, we are so far behind ... as school administrators and as higher education professors. I'm going to do my best to catch up. Or, perhaps you will read this article and celebrate because you are in the forward swing of this social media movement! If so, BRAVO for you. Keep going. I'm scrambling to catch up!
