Ning was not new to me.  I had a invitation to join ning focused on the Georgia Southern University ITEC community.  I had not, however, fully utilized the my ning access.  I have spent some quality time in the last couple of days exploring through Classroom 2.0, and I was amazed by the wealth of information there.  I was so amazed that I joined Classroom 2.0. 

In my searches over the past couple of days, I found groups that interest me greatly.  Connecting Content and Technology will be of great benefit in assisting my teachers to connect Web 2.0 in their classrooms.  Inclusion Revolution — Technology is Special Education will allow me, who has minimal instruction in serving that specific community, to be better informed on how to assist with technology needs in special education classes. 

One implementation that I can see in our school would be to use the social networking sites to facilitate professional learning conducted within our school.  In the last year, our principal has required several teachers to complete a study of various texts and awarded professional learning credits.  Use of a social networking site would be a great place for each participant to post to forum questions generated by the group leader.
