Social Networking

One of the social networking sites I visited was School 2.0 found at http://school20.ning.com/. This group could be useful to me as a teacher because sometimes it is hard to think up ways to incorporate a large amount of technology in a classroom. A discussion could be started about this topic for a specific subject such as chemistry. Also, it is a way to keep current on issues and questions from teachers that involve technology in education. It's also a way to make new connections with other teachers from other parts of the country or world that may have more experience in certain technological areas as relates to education.

  1. It is always an excellent idea to communicate with other teachers. They are a wealth of information because they can share what they have done in their classroom and say what was successful or not. That way you don't have to experiment with several different technologies or activities to find out for yourself what works. It lets you save time and better the educational experience for your students.

  2. Steph,
    There are many useful Nings. Did you do a search for one specifically on Chemistry? If there isn't one yet, you could always start one and see how much participation you get.
