Classroom 2.0: Facebook for Teachers
With over 49,000 members, Classroom 2.0 allows a teacher to communicate, collaborate, and share ideas/resources with other teachers around the world. The social-networking site allows a person to share ideas and connect with other professionals in a relaxed and quick way.

This site is very similar to facebook because it allows members to...

 * Use it easily
 * Join groups (563)
 * Add friends (49,000+)
 * Discuss ideas and opinions in forum discussions (7,000+)
 * Write blogs
 * Read others' blogs
 * Chat
 * Attend upcoming events
 * Post videos and photos

Free Workshops
Classroom 2.0 also has free workshops held around the country for educators and anyone else interested. I may try to go to one of these if they hold one in Georgia.

What I like best about Classroom 2.0 is the ease of finding interesting discussions. You can find discussions by tool (ideamaps, spreadsheets, documents, podcasting, etc), subject (art, english, math, etc), or area (assessment, gifted, special needs, Elementary, Middle School, High School, etc.). This makes it extremely easy to find whatever you are looking for. There are concerns and ideas about almost anything concerning education on this site. I am going to tell all my friends who are teachers to become members of Classroom 2.0.
