Kristen Swanson, author of the book, Professional Learning in the Digital Age: The Educator’s Guide to User-Generated Learning, joins us this month to talk about how school leaders and teachers can enhance and transform their professional development by becoming connected educators. While traditional methods of professional development still have value, harnessing information from physical and virtual communities and online resources, and connecting with fellow school leaders and teachers offers many new opportunities for learning that haven’t existed before.
For school leaders interested in getting started with their own user-generated learning, Kristen Swanson recommends the following resources:
Virtual Book Club information for the book
