WYSIWYG or Pretend Leader: Who’s in your network?
With so many educators online or becoming more active online, what practices do we have to think critically about who deserves our time and attention, and who can best inform our practice? How do we become critical consumers of thought leadership in our networks? Do we use criteria such as these to gauge authenticity? Large […]
A year of learning from thought leaders….
