Classroom 2.0 is a social networking site for people involved in education to have discussions with other educators about websites, resources, and just connecting and chatting with other teachers. Most people think all social networking sites are the same, and considering how popular they are now, its slightly understandable. But classroom 2.0 has a much more professional feel to it than other networks, such as Facebook. After digging around the site, I found many different discussions on technology in the classroom, and it seems very helpful having so many different people to give their perspectives and ideas. If you are a new teacher, you could use this network as a place to bounce off ideas on other educators, look for new resources, even find new lesson plans for your students. Also, there are actual recordings of different teachers talking about using online technology in the classroom, different media tools, and other projects that can be used to enhance your students education as well as your own knowledge of tools. All in all, this website is something I will want to be using once I get a teaching job, and will pass along to my colleagues as well.
