Position: Project Manager, Participatory Learning
Overview: CoSN is seeking a strong project manager who is passionate about transforming learning with 21st century tools. CoSN is doing extensive work in advancing its mission through the Participatory Learning in Schools: Policy & Leadership initiative. This effort is based on the recognition that mobile devices and Web 2.0 tools provide powerful learning resources for our children and thus prepare them for the world beyond the classroom. The purpose of this initiative, which is sponsored by The Digital Media and Learning Initiative from The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, is to assist schools to adapt to this new reality.
In this project and other efforts, CoSN is doing major work around online Communities of Practice and their use in education. CoSN has identified "leading edge" school districts with regard to their use of digital media and student-owned mobile devices at school and has formed a "cadre" that is participating in an online Community of Practice to draw support, information, and resources from peers who share similar goals. The goal is to distill the concrete "real-world" knowledge, experience, and best practices from the participating teams that will assist other districts who wish to move in the same direction.
