=The Culture of Learning= Thoughts by Alan November --- Mar 5th, 2011
 * ====Learning is social –collaborate and connect.====
 * ====Learning needs to be purposeful.====
 * ====Learning is about making a contribution.====
 * ====Learning occurs when the learner is “truly” engaged.====
 * ====Learning occurs in an environment built on strong relationships.====
 * ====Learning should be about innovation, generation of ideas, creation.====
 * ====Learning is not simply about the transfer of knowledge from one individual to another and control.====
 * ====Learning requires time to reflect, process, and question to understanding.==== || media type="custom" key="9930837" ||

Defining Skills
//In July 2011, a group of Groton Elementary Teachers created the following Standard connected Skills documents:// We considered, for each item: Then we stepped back and took a 5000 foot view, checking for grade level alignment and looking at the big picture.
 * K-2 Technology Skills :[[file:21CSk-2.pdf]]
 * 3-5 Technology Skills [[file:21CS3-5.pdf]]
 * [[file:21CS6-8sbsc.doc]] (Word document for 6-8, here for reference)
 * Is it clear
 * Is it developmentally appropriate ?
 * Is it extraneous?
 * What is missing that should be added?
 * Would it be Introduced, Developed, or Mastered at a given grade level? (**I, D, M)**

We will work to build experiences for students. We may develop Project Based Learning units. See this Project Based Learning for information and resources.
