AUGUST 31, 2014

You see, prior to 2009 I was adamantly opposed to even the thought of using social media for both personal and professional reasons. This is how I saw social media and mobile technology back in 2009.

A Principal's Reflections

APRIL 10, 2016

Since 2009 I have been a huge believer and advocate for connected learning and the formation of Personal Learning Networks (PLN’s). Now don't get me wrong, I still highly value face-to-face experiences, as there are some natural limits to learning exclusively in a social media vacuum.

I originally wrote this post way back in 2009. Most schools and districts spend lot of time and effort trying to get their teachers up to speed on technology and its use/place in the classroom. However, rarely, if ever, is much time spent with administrators, working with them on ways they use technology to enhance what they are doing.
