Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Twitter tips from the #1 Tweeterboarder (Uh, that’s me)
Another cool post from Cool Cat Teacher. It starts out about Tweeterboard, which isn’t too interesting to me. However, her explanation of how she got the #1 spot was interesting. Not because I aim to do it, but because she thinks that she got there based on a Tweeter Poll (her term) that she took. The poll just asked her followers to chime in on who and where they are and what they do. She lists the impressive list of responses from people all over the world, doing many jobs in and around education. Her point is not, “Look how cool I am,” but rather with a little effort and the right technologies, look at the professional network that I have access to. This is the beauty of social networking tools for professionals. DanPlay Web 2.0 Truth AND Dare
Vicki Davis passes on some great resources and often adds unique insights to them. This is one of those postings. I’ll embed the video below, but I encourage you to check out the link above to see her questions. They are a great conversation starter.

Web 2.0 Workshop
This looks like a really great workshop on a large number of topics regarding the use of Web 2.0 technologies specifically in education. It is organized into a series of short videos that can walk you not only through the technologies, but also the rationale behind using them.
The videos are free for now, but I’d get in there fast to take a look before they disappear.
