Conversation+Starters

In order to meet the needs of the 21st century learner we as teachers need to explore the learning potential of the ICT tools that exist today. In Dan Tapscott's book "Grown Up Digital" he proposes a model of a N-Fluence network where individuals are N-Fluenced (net influenced) by those within their online social network.

On this site the N-Fluence will come first from the colleagues you work with each day (the strong ties) and grow during the next three years to the weaker ties we have with the teachers in our ICTPD cluster and beyond.
