"Teacher 2.0 is a community for educators to talk with each other about their personal and professional growth. While Classroom 2.0 (http://www.classroom20.com) has been extremely successful and now has over 56,000 members, the focus of Classroom 2.0 is really around the use of social technologies and the Web in the classroom, and would not necessarily be the right place to talk about reigniting career interests and passions. It seems to me that a more focused community could help provide value for talking about how the Internet, Web 2.0, and social media are providing personal and professional opportunities--and that I can bring in guest speakers for webinars on these topics."

An awesome group created by Steve Hargadon and just getting started as a place for all of us to really focus on our own personal/professional growth as educators. Get singed up (free) and start contributing.

"The K-12 Online Conference is an organization, event, and community every educator should recognize. FREE, high-quality, on-demand professional development can be hard to come by, and K-12 Online now includes over 170 outstanding video presentations in its archives. While the conference has taken place the past four years in October (2006, 2007 and 2008) and December (2009) - in 2010 the conference has added another aspect which continues throughout the year, twice per month: The K12Online Echo Webcast."

All of the K12 Online Conference presentations are available online any time/any place and are outstanding resources for professional development. The Echo sessions continue to feature presentations from this year's conference and provide a fantastic opportunity to view the presentation and chat with the presenter in real time.

Teacher Challenge - Connecting teachers through free professional learning .

Celebration of the 4th anniversary of our Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinars. We shared an Animoto, Lino.it and Wordle to enjoy a trip down memory lane for 2012 and to say thanks to ALL who were a part of our webinars whether as a participant or presenter! The show was very interactive and fun, and participants were invited to share favorite tools, tips and blog links during the session with an opportunity to enter several raffle ticket drawings for prizes. We even played a live Jeopardy game. The bonus Livebinder for this show includes the blog URLs for all of the 2012 presenters as well as any personal/professional/classroom blog URLs that were posted in the chat during the session.
