    I am becoming more actively involved in the Social Mediasphere with a presence on Twitter, Ning and Facebook. There is a wealth of professional networking resources out there if you take the time to engage and connect with others. This first-hand knowledge will help someone of my generation understand the world of the next generation so I can lead the way to more effective policies in the K-12 environment.

    Hi David,

    With your work in Education Technology and Web 2.0, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

    Thank you for the invitation. I want to help systems begin to take advantage of the Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning.
