EVO – The Art of Curation and Discovery in Professional Development
Just came across George Siemens’s insights “A curatorial teacher acknowledges the autonomy of learners, yet understands the frustration of exploring unknown territories without a map.

In the past, workshops, training sessions, lectures with invited speakers were the only way to go for professional development, and we thought that this would suffice. Certainly not true anymore. One-size-fits-all kind of training seems to me…

Also, if you…
