The amount of information is overwhelming, but I have stated that before. I am still overwhelmed. Last fall while attending the NCTE national conference, I first heard about Ning. All of the presentations (powerpoints, etc.) were uploaded to a Ning site. After returning home, I was able to revisit some sessions and explore others. At this point I am disappointed when I attend a conference and Ning is not available.
While exploring the educational sites, I found valuable information, presentations, and sites concerning writing and reading. These new insights and approaches help with curriculum development. Many of these include a technology component. I hope to set up a network of teachers to help work on the new TEKS and the new testing that is coming (EOC). My personal learning is all tied to my professional learning at the present time. I need to become more comfortable with the networking and technology at a personal level to help at a professional level.
