Example: Educators 2.0 - A Supercool School For Educators World-Wide

Hey folks! After our exciting launch I'm planning to let you know about all the cool use cases we see with Supercool School.

Today I want to introduce you to Educators 2.0 - The first live online school for innovative and tech savvy educators world-wide! The goal of this Supercool School is to empower educators globally to connect and educate each other about using the web and new technologies to teach/train people more successfully. It's completely open to anyone who is willing to connect, share knowledge, request or offer classes. If you are educating people using new technologies - you are invited :")

Obviously we will use Educators 2.0 also as a platform to teach people how to use Supercool School and bring together all users who have created their own Supercool School to share their experience with each other and learn from others how to successfully grow your next generation online school

Another goal of Educators 2.0 is to bring training and education professionals together and help them understand how to use next generation technologies for their organizations and how to make social learning succeed within their companies and organizations.

Check out our our enterprise offerings and also our LinkedIn Educators 2.0 group for more info.

In the meantime why don't you have a look at these new class requests and offerings:

• Make Moodle courses available as AICC in other LMS
  
• Intro to Social Media
  
• How to use twitter in school?
  
• How to Use Supercool School?

I hope to see you soon in a class on Educators 2.0 :)

Much power to you!
