Is Your PLN Truly a PLN? I've really gotten into Twitter over the last year or so. As far as social media networks go, I can't think of a better one to connect people and ideas (truth be told, I only joined Facebook two months ago, ... "Imagine this. . . What if #edchat (or any Twitter chat for that matter) was less about sharing beliefs and anecdotes and more about actually delving into a specific problem to solve? Or, what if (and maybe this happens already), #edchat serves as a general starting point and then members from that #edchat meet up (either virtually or in person) to look at some real data about the topic that was discussed and begin to hash out ideas, solutions, and next steps. In a future #edchat, this group could report back to the others “in attendance” and those interested would take these ideas back to their classrooms, districts, and face-to-face colleagues. True, this would drastically reduce the speed of the Twitter chatting phenomenon, and yes, it would require those of us who participate (like me, for instance) to do more than exchange emails or Skype every once in a while with other educators in my online “PLN.” But, if we’re going to use an educational “buzzword,” we should use it well, and more importantly, our actions should speak louder than our words (both the ones we truly speak and the ones we type)."

First and foremost, SimpleK12 is a fantastic place to visit to learn about everything web 2.0. ... Welcome! I have established this site to do both reviews of books and of web 2.0 tools that can be used in the classroom. "Let's face it, there are thousands of tools out there that can be used in the classroom, with kids or without, to make education better or worse, but, how on earth do we know what we should use and how to decide when to use it? I have spent so many hours learning about things on my own until this past summer when I decided to embark on the free webinar. I attended a lot of them and left with a huge amount of knowledge I wasn't expecting. I decided my best bet is to share these fantastic sites with other educators so they might hop on board and try to dabble in the webinar method of professional development.
