Schools...the New Digital Age Learning Organization? By Peter DeWitt - Guest Blog by SL 2.0’s Dr. Bill Brennan

Schools...the New Digital Age Learning Organization?

Today's guest post is written by Bill Brennan (@DrBillBrennan). Bill is the Lead Innovator (and Respectful Disruptor) in Farmingdale Schools, NY and an adjunct professor for Fordham University.

We are truly on an exciting journey in Farmingdale Schools.  Our "Institution of Learning" is morphing into a digital age learning organization - one that is continuously learning and unlearning. Fueled by social media, collaboration, and other online/offline learning endeavors, teachers and principals have quickly become the ambassadors for technology, initiating and catalyzing conversations in their buildings. I'm inspired by how they are pushing the edges of learning and embracing new approaches in the classroom.

In fact, in an effort to celebrate much of this work and continue to build our collective learning capacity, we are hosting Long Island Connected Educators' Conference on April 5th - an event that has attracted over 160 participants ambitious to connect, share and learn together. Events like this are truly amazing.  Many describe it as empowering, liberating, life changing, and a new paradigm for professional learning. My own experiences at events like this have unleashed a boundless journey of professional learning.
