A "class" experiment

I've set up this group to be a gathering place for those who participate in a professional development class hosted in the Parkway School District. We'd like to open up this experience, however, to the membership at Classroom 2.0 because, as is all too evident, it's more important to participate in social media then simply "learn about" it.

Participants will be thinking about blogging, microblogging, and social networks through the course of the semester. Please feel free to join in on the conversation!
