Today’s backchannel hashtag #AHCOTE

A cautionary tale?

Ashley Payne was a teacher at Appalachee High in Barrow County Georgia up until a short while ago, but claims she was fired after some pictures of her on Facebook drinking

and an expletive were shown to her superiors.

The Barrow County school district claimed that Ashley had to go because her profile page had pictures of her with beer

mugs and wine glasses from her European vacation.

Keys to success

Be flexible. With any lesson a plan B (and C) is necessary.

It’s not about what you know, it’s about skills.

Try, fail, succeed, reflect, help, ask, share, share, share.

Don’t be ashamed to say “I don’t know”

Participate

These are some keys to success in teaching, they work really well for technology as well!

What to do?

Use technology as Cognitive Tools, work Constructively, work Socially

Create your Personal Learning Network, create a digital portfolio (blog or wiki)
