I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a new site I launched with Mike Keany, Director of Long Island School Leadership. As Mike puts it, this site is a “town hall” for school leaders. Please check out the new site and be a part of our learning community. The goal of this site is to open up the conversation and enable professionals to share ideas, practices and experiences in a more direct manner. In addition, I hope that this type of collaboration will open more people up to the power behind “social networking”, which I prefer to call “professional networking”.

I can remember the first time I used the Internet for research. I can remember the first time I connected with others and created my new network for learning. That was back in the late 90′s. It was an empowering experience as I looked into the crystal ball of what my career in education would be. Luckily at that time I had a nice computer (at that time it has 1gig hard drive and about 32mb or ram) with lightning speed Internet access of my 56k modem. The bottom line is that it completely changed they way I saw myself in this world. This was truly an empowering experience that all students should be able to go through. Do you think we are meeting the needs of the 21st century learner through our current instructional practices? This is a great presentation that I found on Slideshare.
