Technology is just a tool and is definitely not a silver bullet. On its own it WILL NOT lead to learning or improved outcomes. The focus has to be on how the LEARNER is using it to LEARN in alignment with sound strategies and pedagogy #EDVice #edchat #edutwitter #edtech #educhat

I asked a group of former cohort members what we, as a university, could have done better to prepare students for the being a teacher.
One student's answer stuck with me.
"I wasn't ready for the loneliness. As a cohort, we were a community. You played a small role but it was us as a leader but, sorry, John, it was us. We were tight. Then you enter the field and you're on your own. I just wish I worked at a place where we ate together and planned together and had a couple of drinks together on Friday night like we did as as a cohort. I miss that so much."
I'm not sure how you define PLC but it's not "a group of people who analyze data together." It's what she was describing. It's a community that talks shop on a Friday afternoon after work.
