  2. Excited About the Upcoming Social Learning Summit on April 21, 2012

    Of all my personal learning network resources, I am most passionate about the Discovery Education Network (DEN) and Classroom 2.0. Now these two wonderful professional development platforms have partnered and are sponsoring the Social Learning Summit on Saturday, April 21.

  3. More Reflections on DEN SCIcon 2012

    Both Jane and David have done a great job of highlighting features of the wonderful gathering of educators at the Mark Twain House Visitor Center this past Saturday.

I have to admit that I hadn’t plugged in for a couple of weeks, so I decided that last night was the time to take care of [...]

  8. New to the CT Leadership Council

I must have clicked on something different this time because I found [...]
