More ways to improve your technological know-how

I met today with local education technology expert Lucy Gray, and she introduced me to ning, a new social networking site that’s attracting a great group of educators.  The two sites I’ve explored so far are Lucy’s Global Education Collaborative and the group exploring how to fully integrate new interactive technology into the classroom, a phenomenon known as Classroom 2.0.  Both are open to any interested teacher, and feature discussions, video clips, and blogs.  (Just like the new TEN will!)

For more ideas about how technology can improve your teaching (and/or your life), start with Lucy’s blog and Will Richardson’s Weblogg-ed and just click on the links for anything that sounds interesting!

(By the way, that’s my high-tech advice for anyone just getting started using blogs and other internet tools: click anything that sounds interesting! If you’re using Firefox or Safari or the newest version of Internet Explorer, be sure to use the tabs feature! It’s a huge time and energy saver.)
