Networking for Educators... New personal and professional development tools.

We're slowly changing the way we network. 

Gone are the hand-written letters and stamps.  Today, we have online resources that change the way we communicate and grow.  We discover things that are new, exciting and relevant to us and we are collaborating in ways never previously imagined.

So, teachers, students and parents can now take communication out of the classroom and keep parents informed.  Not only can teachers communicate more effectively, but they can consult with others.  Experts in various fields and other educators are but a mouse click away.

This extends to school fundraising as well as it does any other interest of venture you are a part of.  There is a club, a group, a messageboard, a business that is congruent with your thoughts and is online and available anytime you need them.

Go ahead.  Whatever your line of work or interests and despite any lack of computer experience you may have, it's all there for the taking.  Get out there online and discover more about your interests!

Here's to personal and professional development!

Best Practices in Social Networking for Educators

Here's a great video!

It's an introduction to discovering your own online PLN (personal learning network).  Basically, getting out there on the web, finding out that there is a bunch of folks just like you that are all sharing insight and ideas and using that information to help others and share yourself.

You'll find that people are using technolog, learning and sharing in ways we've not seen before.  It's important and I am sure you'll appreciate it!
