This video (created by Common Craft) is for people who wonder why social networking web sites are so popular. One reason is because they solve a real-world problem: they make the invisible visible. We’ll let the video explain how it works.
I would add that networks like Progressive Educator’s Connect can create a virtual space for teachers to share and grow professionally. For the past two years I have created my own professional development by reading educator blogs from around the world. It is some of the most thrilling and exciting professional development I have come across. The best part is I can participate at any hour of the day or night — in sweatpants and slippers — and I can do it all from the comfort of blue sofa in my living room!
