Many of you have MySpace or Facebook accounts so that you can connect with friends and family around the globe. And through these social networks you have connected with colleagues in the teaching profession. What do you do to keep that line between personal and professional connections solid?
I think the answer is to join a professional social network. While I was doing some research after attending a Webinar through ISTE on School 2.0...which is better left to its own post...I came across a Ning site called Classroom 2.0. Classroom 2.0 was created by Steve Hargadon to connect educators around the world.
- Elementary School 2.0
- Professional Development
- Distance Collaborations
- Digital Storytelling
- Mac Classroom 2.0
- Blogging
- Media Literacy
- High School Social Studies
If you haven't taken a minute to explore the TILT social network, I recommend you do. It can be a very valuable tool for us. Plus, it is a safe learning environment for those of you that are new to social networks.
