"What if your teachers disappeared and you had to learn on your own? Would you give up on learning? Where would you begin? Why would learning be important? You are an empowered learner. You have the power to learn anything. How much you learn is up to you. How you manage your learning is up to you. How you manage your time is up to you. A big part of your success will depend on how well you are organized." This session will showcase the Personal Learning Network (PLN) project that all Wiscasset High School students take to prepare them for the network world. The session will focus on setting up and facilitating the development student PLN's for research and personalized connected learning!
