As part of our Summer Professional Development Series, we're excited to offer a free workshop on Web 2.0 tools for new teachers. Over the five-week workshop, participants will learn about one new tool a week, then they'll do some practice lessons before developing their own. As a group, participants will also be able to brainstorm ways to integrate these tools into the classroom in creative and engaging ways.

This summer, you're invited to join your colleagues and Next Generation Learning Challenges for a "Summer Learning Series" – a schedule of webcasts dedicated to the transformative role that technology can play in fostering student success with solutions designed to improve college completion.

A teacher who engages with other educators on Twitter essentially has a 24/7 open door policy. Type the hashtag #edchat in the search box, and you'll see a real-time stream of discussion about an unlimited number of educational topics.

I decided to share my story, how being on twitter, having a PLN and challenges my PLN propose have made me reassess my practices and change some of them, how they have helped me develop professionally and learn.
