Reading some of those reflections might be a good entry point to these tools. A good starting point is the list at SupportBlogging!, which includes a list of edubloggers by discipline and position. Lately, many educators have been drawn to Twitter as a way to begin to interact with others. You might check out twitter4teachers or look at the education list at wefollow.com. Still others create and/or listen to podcasts or collaborate on wikis. There are tens of thousands of educators who have embraced the social web as a big part of their professional development. Look at what they’re doing, and learn. —W.R.
