Educators today are turning to social media environments—wikis, Twitter, Facebook, Drupal, podcasts, webcasts—to foster professional conversations. Three NWP teacher-consultants will share their stories of building and benefiting from professional development opportunities in social media spaces and will engage participants in discussion about the use of these tools for their own professional learning.
