Hello Mariann,

 

I am the Media & Technology Specialist at Sussex Correctional
Institution in southern Delaware.  

One site I would recommend to you and others www.tappedin.org
<http://www.tappedin.org/>  which I use fairly regularly. It is a
virtual community for professional development for educators. 

 

I co-manage (with William Muth) the ALE Wiki section for Correctional
Education, and I certainly recommend the Wiki to all adult educators.
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page

 

I am currently working on an Educational Doctorate specializing in
Educational Technology at the University of Delaware.  I have a blog
posted at http://daacepd.blogspot.com/ 

 

The blog topic is related to teacher networks/communities of practice...
and how they might be used more frequently & more efficiently to enhance
professional development.  I would appreciate it the list members who
are reading/responding to this post might take a "jog" over to the blog
and comment on any of my postings. 

 

I am very interested in hearing more about your research.

 

Gina

Subject: [Technology 1639] supporting your own PD question

 

Hi all,

I'm doing some research and would like your input.

What technology resources (sites, tools, learning communities) do you
use that supports you (or your program staff) in your own professional
development as educators? What do you think is the value of these
resources and how have they helped you? 

I know a number of the folks on this list attended or presented at
conferences this season did you see any thing on this topic that you can
share?

 

All the best,

Mariann
