Community leader in ADVIS

A new learning opportunity indeed. Mr. Fisch at out school, has been given the huge privilege of being a community leader for the "ADVIS Cohort". Apparently this job entails taking care of some of the technical aspects of the site as well as pushing along conservations. The only major difference from what he has been doing at Arapahoe is that he won't be taking part in the face to face meetings (and he doesn't know many people within this new group). ADVIS also has a program called PLP, or Powerful Learning Practice. This new regimen integrates modern day technology with a "long-term, job-embedded professional development program". Integrating online tools, media, and new found communities into our learning and career development paths is a great idea. It allows students to make a fully informed choice about their futures. The web is a rapidly expanding pool of knowledge. Whats the point of having a pool if you don't go for a swim every once in a while?
