I\u2019m an outspoken advocate for change in schools and classrooms in the context of the diverse new learning opportunities that the Web and other technologies now offer.<\/p>\n<p>A former public school educator for 22 years, I\u2019m a co-founder of Powerful Learning Practice (<a title=\"plpnetwork.com\" href=\"http:\/\/plpnetwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">plpnetwork.com<\/a>), a unique professional development program that has mentored over 5,000 teachers worldwide in the last five years.
