Profile

Hometown:: Madison, Wisconsin

School / Work Affiliation: EduBlogger, EdTech Consultant, Guy interested in "big picture" visioning

About Me:: I was a classroom teacher for 23 years . . . in both "brick & mortar" and online classrooms . . . from 5th grade through grad school courses. I love learning and the process of "architectureing" learning environments.

I firmly believe that what now passes for school is not what our students need to guide them on their way. A new way of "schooling" needs to emerge and educational leaders need to encourage, foster, and nurture the process. The process begins with a change in thinking about what a learning environment is and moves to implementing the new collective vision. Technology provides the tools to reconceptualize school and avenues to facilitate the new vision.

But I have (and will) still get development from the network. When I read 'a new way of schooling needs to emerge' I am so heartened! I will subscribe to your blog.
