Here is the same Power Point in a different format. Ignite is a more contained way of sharing information. Presentations are only 20 slides that have a 15 second interval between each. This means that presentations are 5 minutes each. This way participants, students and other fellow Igniters can learn something in a relatively short period of time. Slides are presented with optimal images and succinct text. No voice overs are allowed. Learning is collaborative and networked. Everyone can spare 5 minutes to learn something new, right?

ISTE-NETS:
In my previous post about Power Point, I talked about the first and second ISTE-NETS characteristics. Now, with Ignite, I'd like to talk about the last 3:

3) Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.
b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.
c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

I really like b and c here. I like the fact that it mentions collaboration and community. I didn't realize Slide Share was a resource where not only does one share presentations, but also are able to access presentations created by others. Collaborative learning, I feel, is an effective way to feel "linked in" to others. Letter C talks about communicating using a variety of digital media, which in this day and age is crucial to success both in school and future careers.

4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources.
b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.
c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information.
d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.


5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
a. participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning.
b. exhibit leadership by demonstrating a vision of technology infusion, participating in shared decision making and community building, and developing the leadership and technology skills of others.
c. evaluate and reflect on current research and professional practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources in support of student learning.
d. contribute to the effectiveness, vitality, and self-renewal of the teaching profession and of their school and community.

The rest of the highlighted items all touch on information sharing, the global village and current research. Ignite, Power Point and Slide Share all contribute to these things. The world is a small place, and these tools help make it more accessible. One can view presentations and information from contributors all over the world. For example, my first follower on Slide Share was someone from China! So, you can see what people are contributing on the same or similar topics all over the world!
