Social Media for the Education Community

• Professional educators have long had a connected community.  
• The connections now are faster, more interactive, and more useful.
• Social Media: LinkedIn: businesses, educators, professionals: jobs
• I favor LinkedIn and find good professional contacts there.

Connected Teaching and Learning

Connected Teaching and Learning is a free professional learning community where teachers, lead learners, administrators, and librarians come to engage and innovate around ways to leverage all types of connections to advance learning and improve teaching practices. We will collaborate on the powerful impact that connections - with other educators, with your school's community, and with data - can have on your students’ outcomes. 

Join us to explore new ideas, resources, and strategies for optimizing connections to help your students grow and succeed. Learn how to better support student instruction and assessments as well as your own professional development by improving connections.

Classroom 2.0  

Welcome to Classroom20.com, the social network for those interested in  Web 2.0, Social Media, and Participative Technologies in the classroom. We encourage you to sign up to participate in the great discussions here, to receive event notifications, and to find and connect with colleagues. We have over 85,000 members from 200 countries! 

Classroom 2.0 is a free, community-supported network. We especially hope that those who are "beginners" will find this a supportive comfortable place to start being part of the digital dialog. Because of spammers, we have to approve all memberships here. While your membership is pending you are still welcome to peruse the site or attend any events! 

Once your membership is approved, the best way to find or become part of a conversation is to us the search box at the upper right or the topic list to the lower left.  You can also introduce yourself to the whole network by going to the introductory forum message. Please also feel free to explore! Here are some starting tips and a "Tour of Classroom 2.0" Elluminate recording, or you can ask help of a "host."  Thanks so much for being here! 

The Learning Revolution Project holds online and physical learning events, and highlights professional development opportunities from a network of 200 partners in the learning professions. The great majority of these events are free to attend. 

We also highlight good conversations about learning taking place between educators, learners, leaders, and others from the school, library, museum, work, adult, online, non-traditional and home learning worlds. The technologies of the Internet and the Web are reshaping when, where, and from whom we learn--and even how we think about learning. As the boundaries of these learning worlds increasingly overlap, we believe these conversations will be critical to framing and preparing for the learning revolution starting to take place.
