"incredibly versatile participation tool. Spiral is a free suite of four powerful apps that promote classroom engagement and collaboration. It makes so much of what we already do so much easier and it is a must-have tool for 1:1 settings. Students may login to lessons using Google, Facebook, Clever or Edmodo."
Have you tried Second Life yet? Are you afraid to do so? This link with a auto vide on the home page may either entice you to try it or scare the heck out of you.
I am revising Second Life for my new role in ISTE. I ceated an avatar about a year ago (I am Maureen Mocha, they give you a list of sur name options and because of my coffee habit, well you get it...). Look me up if you try second life.
I have been lurking around on the ISTE island. You should check that out too. There is a lot of free virtual professional development going on there.
To participate in Second Life, you will need to download the viewer onto your computer. It is free. Go ahead and give it a try. I dare you :-).
EVSC (Evansville Schools) 30 day challenge. Begins October 24. You can participate, but aren't eligible for the iPad! Each day will include a new tool, tips and tutorials.
Hi Susie. Thanks so much for this link. The article about Twitter-based PD is useful, AND Nikki Robertson seems like a good person to follow for wider PD as well. PLEASE continue sharing in this forum - after all, you should have more time to read and curate the best sources for the rest of us. :) ~ Margaret
