My third ISTE adventure in America!

After spending 3 days with the world’s technology elite in education at ISTE 2012, it is clear to me. It is time to change! It’s not about the technology but what you can accomplish with it in your classrooms and schools. It is about knowing the right people to follow and it is about connecting. Most of all, it’s about showing your students what they can accomplish and guiding them. It really is about expanding horizons!

Six Interviews: Powerful Conversations with PLP Leader Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

My friend and collaborator Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach is eminently interviewable. Whether she’s talking about passion-based teaching and learning, the secrets of successful online communities of practice, or her ideas about integrating new technologies and social media into everyday teacher and student life, her transformative vision comes through and what she has to say always has valuable take-aways for listeners.

Powerful Learning Practice is among a half-dozen “Notable” case-study communities currently featured at the Connected Educators project website.
One strategy of the USDOE-supported project is to produce in-depth interviews with leaders in the online community-of-practice world, and the site is currently featuring an informative Q&A with PLP leader and CEO Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach.
