When I don’t know something, I have a network of colleagues
that I can put out my ignorance to…it’s important to stay connected to people
who are smarter than us…

It’s a little bit intimidating when you have to start off
as almost a novice again, but it’s also exciting as you learn and discover. {Levine talking about trying something new in technology}
An example of a valuable site for
teacher networking…
Teacher 2.0 “is an independent community for educators to explore their
interests and passions, and to build a network of support for educators at all levels.
Through this community, with online events, interviews, and workshops, the
goal is to have educators help each other become re-energized in their careers
and in their contributions to the world.” There is a category set up for labs,
ideas, members, groups, books, and more.
I chose this networking
site, among many others, mostly because you have to register and be approved to
join the network in order to avoid spammers. I some other social networks, like
NYSCATE for example, I noticed many spammers that flooded the forums with
hairstyling tips.
Upon investigating this site
further, I found a book entitled Personal
Learning Networks: Using the Power of Connections to Transform Education

I also found a plethora of
blogs that would be beneficial to follow, something of which I had difficulty
finding in earlier mods for this course.
I hope that you add the rss feeds for some of these good blogs to your Google Reader.
