Technology Self Assessment: School 2.0

I chose to research the NETS-T V module: Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.As a prospective educator, I feel it is important to connect with other professionals and gather new ideas to help improve one's own educational theories and practices. On the School 2.0 website, I ran across a link that took me to a website called Classroom 2.0. This is a community of professional educators that develop their own blogs and are able to actively communicate ideas with one another. The idea closely resembles that of Twitter in that you are able to reach a community of people with the same ideas and interests, yet the style is very different in that it is blog  based atmosphere. Not only are you able to post blogs with different classroom ideas, but you are also able to post on live forums, host or participate in webinars, or chat live with one another. This type of website is highly important to educators because it allows the professional community of teachers to work closely together to improve their classroom styles as well as improve learning for their students. I think a website like this allows teachers to know that help is out there and available if needed.
