This wiki was created in July 2009 by Shawn Kimball with a two-fold purpose. First and foremost, this wiki is intended to be a resource for teachers interested in using microblogging tools to increase/extend/enhance teaching and learning in and out of the classroom. Secondly, this free Wikispaces wiki is being used to organize "Twitter for Professional Development" presentations at Setting Sail: 2009 MLTI Summer Institute and ACTEM's MAINEducation Technology 2009 Conference.
Classroom 2.0 LIVE Conversations are community-scheduled opportunities to talk on specific topics with other members of the Classroom 2.0 using one of the online voice/video/sharing programs. Using this wiki page you can find discussions in which to participate, or schedule to host additional ones. Be sure to check this page immediately prior to any conversation for changes or updates. A forum discussion exists on the Classroom 2.0 network for feedback and ideas.
The purpose of this site is to convert the inspiring and thought-provoking discussion from the weekly Twitter #edchat into real change.
