Good to connect again, friend!

I agree with you, I really tried to understand social networking, but until I jumped in and begin to learn together. I am teaching administrators tomorrow and I hope to have a richer conversation helpign them better understand the how and the why of social networking. Stay tuned as I teach tech camp the next few weeks and involve more teachers in teh conversation! Thanks for the feedback about the conversations about second life and social networking, I will share mine tomorrow!
Thanks for being part of my network!

We were taking the first steps of understanding social computing and it's application in regular life as well as teacher's lives. I wasn't ready to promote social computing in the form of tech apps outside of CMS/LMS because that is simply too problematic at this time. What I was promoting is an understanding of how all of this is affecting student lives with or without appropriate education or intervention and the need for teachers to be in the know and capable of supporting social computing literacy and ethics. Anyway, one way that we are supporting social computing in the classroom is with open source CMS/LMS like Moodle and aTutor.

My evaluation received on the workshop was decent, 4.6 out of 5 overall. They were very receptive and interested with lots of questions. There were conversations about Second Life and MySpace. My teachers were pretty much at the beginning with a few exceptions. Discussing Web 2.0 was a trip.
