Social networking and other online tools now provide a full menu of professional development opportunities that range from discussions on Twitter to personal learning networks on Ning and sharing of useful classroom resources on Google+. The online offerings are also spawning new types of professional development opportunities, dubbed Edcamps, which provide face-to-face interaction. Supporters say social networking provides vast resources of knowledge, is instantaneous, and targeted. But some educators caution that navigating through those networks can be confusing and time-consuming. Our guests will discuss what works best in this fast-evolving area of online PD.
