A select group of 19 K-12 teachers and teacher/librarians in the College Community School District in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been participating in a series of professional development workshops to further develop their skills with and understanding of digital literacy. As a culminating activity for a two day workshop on “Mapping Media to the Curriculum” with Wesley Fryer, teachers collaboratively interviewed six of their colleagues about their “digital learning journeys” and the ways they are reflecting their learning about digital literacy in the online digital portfolios they have been creating in the past several months. Check out the podcast shownotes for links to the individual posts which teachers created to accompany each interview at the close of the workshop. Learn more on /showwithmedia.com.

Well this is exciting, especially since I know these teachers and did a workshop with them last summer. Was such fun for me to listen to the podcast of these amazing teachers. WOW!! And Wesley, just assigned this as the reflection piece in my class this week. I have no doubt my students, all future teachers will learn a ton and be inspired!
