I think a professional development program can really unite a group of people. If done right a corporation can improve employee retention and morale. An example is AT&T's <a href="http://att.jobs/learning.aspx" target="_blank">learning and professional development</a> program.

I teach gifted K-6 in a one full day a week pullout program. Of the Web 2.0 tools on the list, we've used 10 or so. We also have a blog and have done 5 wikis and two major websites this last year. We just finished a HUGE 4-6th grade wiki project on Pirates which was the outcome of a 3 month "lesson" on research skills.<br />
<br />
You can see all the stuff we've done in the last 4 years at my <a href="http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/2007/07/where-is-all-your-stuff.html">blog</a>

Hi Nancy,<br />
Your list of tools is a great resource. Lots of tools I do not know. Larry was very helpful to you, I see. What age(s) are the kids? What percentage of the tools are they already using?<br />

I put together a list of "old" (tools they'd already used) and new (tools the haven't seen yet) Web 2.0 options that my kids are using. You can see it <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/curriculumlinks/technologyoptions.htm">here</a> I learned about some of the tools yesterday from Larry Ferlazzo. Thanks Larry.

Hi Simon,<br />
I find it fascinating to read all the different places where the colleagues in our PLC reside on the internet. It is like little villages where people gather to speak about important things related to k12 leadership and learning.<br />
Thanks for your comments.<br />

What a great story. You obviously have a well developed PLC on the web. BLC was great for me. Also K12Onlineconference.org 2007 took me to a new level of understanding.<br />

Hi Ann,<br />
I saw the same tweets on Leopard and VoiceThread. Check out <a href="http://tinyurl.com/24jo4g">http://tinyurl.com/24jo4g</a> : The good news is that Adobe has released an update to the Flash plugin that fixes the problem that was plaguing Flash uploaders across the web. Mac OS Leopard users who are unable to upload can get this update via this link. and they should be all set.<br />

I love the passion in your pronouncement, "The results were/are spectacular and it has caused me to continue to want to learn more." You obviously are part of a vibrant PLC.

I work for a regional agency. My main job is in teacher training and support. Every day I learn about new resources and new ways of using technology in the classroom. Today I was invited to look at and edit a document in Buzzword. Buzzword is an online word processor that done in flash so it is extremely quick. The neat thing is the commenting and sharing feature.

I work for a regional agency. My main job is in teacher training and support. Every day I learn about new resources and new ways of using technology in the classroom. Today I was invited to look at and edit a document in Buzzword. Buzzword is an online word processor that done in flash so it is extremely quick. The neat thing is the commenting and sharing feature. Teachers can follow he entire writing process and leave comments on the students work. They can also view old versions of the same paper.<br />
<br />
I also learned about Editgrid, an online spreadsheet that can be edited my two or more people at the same time. Students in small groups could have their own sheet within a document and then bring all the data together in one sheet.<br />
<br />
Not to mention that both of these provide word processing and spreadsheet programs and export for students who don't own office at home or for schools who want to cut cost.<br />
<br />
That's what I have learned from people I know but have never met. That's why I spend time online.<br />
<br />
The last thing I learned today was from your blog. We were at BLC07 together.<br />
