School Leadership 2.0
A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
The Internet informs. The media and the schools do not. Who wins this battle?
WIRED had a huge article about the digital visionaries who think that true democracy will emerge on the Internet.
Oh really? Even as our school system and our mainstream media have stopped doing their jobs?
If people know almost nothing about the world, how can they have an intelligent conversation about the day's trivia?
This is actually a big drama. We are all inside of it.
Here's a quick summary of a phenomenon that WIRED thought was worth 10,000 words, more or less.

My bottom line: The Internet does allow vast world-wide interaction between people. But if everybody is ignorant about the absolute basics, what good can come of it all? In short, we have got to persuade our schools and our media to get back in the business of presenting facts.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
