Social software includes wikis, blogs, podcasts, instant messaging, and any system that allows communication that also emphasizes the richness of personal interaction instead of the technologies that make the interactions possible.

Open Professional Development - New Tools Bring New Possibilities
Session Description: Social software can provide a highly interactive, educationally rich environment for teachers and students worldwide. No longer must learning take place in a vacuum, as students and teachers can communicate and collaborate like never before. The socially enabled Read/Write web (Web 2.0) facilitates an expanding classroom (beyond the physical walls of any particular school) and also provides easy access to an ever-growing array of resources available for collaboration among teachers, technology specialists, administrators, staff developers. No longer are physical boundaries present, nor is there any barrier of time and place. The use of social software engages us in conversations.
We will discuss our experiences in creating an open professional development environment. In doing so, we are freed from the typical restraints (of time and place) that can often limit the success of traditional classroom experiences. We have developed a model that can be used and enhanced by professional developers and teachers in collaborative classrooms throughout the world.
