Announcing Our First Advisory Board for Powerful Learning Practice

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” ~ African proverb

As our Powerful Learning Practice Network grows, we are doing some amazing things with communities of practice, e-learning, raising the voices of forward-looking practitioners, and more. With these and other PLP initiatives underway, we feel it’s time to establish an advisory board  to help us keep our work out on the edge of professional learning in the 21st century. As we went about selecting our first advisors, we looked for individuals who would collectively offer PLP a diverse perspective on current and future trends.

We settled on a combination of leading thinkers around social media in education, researchers who know a lot about learning in community, and seasoned educators with plenty of practical expertise.  We are proud to announce our 2012-2013 Advisory Board: Wendy Drexler, Karl Fisch, Jackie Gerstein, Claudia L’Amoreaux, Ann S. Michaelsen, Howard Rheingold, and Will Richardson (chair).

L to R: Wendy Drexler, Karl Fisch, Jackie Gerstein, Claudia L'Amoreaux, Ann S. Michaelsen, Howard Rheingold, and Will Richardson
