“Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of the fire.” ~William Butler Yeats
In part 2 of the Lighting the Fire, the Teachers Podcast vision is fleshed out further. From Michael Jackson to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, the world of education continues to evolve faster than comprehension of the changes that social networking brings. However, this TTP conversation gives some important thinking points in sorting it all out. Furhermore, special guest Seamus King joins us to discuss application of social media.
A new generation of EdTech professional development.
