If you want to become a 21st century educator — and prepare iGeneration students for an exciting but unpredictable future — you first have to become a 21st century learner. That’s right. The “connected learner” is YOU.
At Powerful Learning Practice, we’ve created a year-long, professional learning journey that takes educators and turns them back into learners first: The Connected Learner Experience. To celebrate the launch of our 2012-13 learning journey, we want to hear from you – What makes you a connected learner?

Powerful Learning Practice is hosting a video contest – it’s easy to enter and you could win some fabulous prizes, including our Grand Prize, an iPad 3! Watch this video to learn all about this contest and how to enter:

I got to tell you how much I laughed when I saw what you guys put together. Too fun!
And Chris’ video is stellar. Yay! Can’t wait to see what folks submit.
Great intro video (love the deep voice).
