Top 10 Social Networks for Teacher
Ning provides educators with strong and powerful personal learning networks where they can meet up with other like-minded teachers and expand their professional networks. I personally use it to keep track of the latest articles in educational technology and also to interact with my colleagues and share my own resources with them. There are several Ning groups that are really indispensable for teachers and that I am pretty sure will be of great help to your professional development.
Classroom20.com, the social network for those interested in Web 2.0, Social Media, and Participative Technologies in the classroom. We encourage you tosign up to participate in the great discussions here, to receive event notifications, and to find and connect with colleagues. We have over 75,000 members from 188 countries!
Classroom 2.0 is a free, community-supported network. We especially hope that those who are "beginners" will find this a supportive comfortable place to start being part of the digital dialog.

Curriculum 21 is the outgrowth of the work of a dynamic group of educators worldwide attempting to help colleagues transform curriculum and school designs to match the needs of 21st century learners. The impetus originated from the Curriculum Mapping work developed by Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs. As we examined maps emerging across the United States and internationally. Too often, curriculum and instruction remains dated although both students, parents, teachers and administrators recognize the need to become current and forward thinking in our planning.
This is an online social community for those interested in global education. There are several resources and learning materials, you can also join discussion groups and meet new teachers and educators. Contribute by adding media, conversation, and collaborative projects. Carries on through the year as a hub for the global community.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE®) is the premier membership association for educators and education leaders engaged in improving learning and teaching by advancing the effective use of technology in PK–12 and teacher education. ISTE represents more than 100,000 education leaders and emerging leaders throughout the world and informs its members regarding educational issues of national and global scope. ISTE members include individuals, affiliate organizations, and corporations: 18,500 individual members from more than 80 countries worldwide, 80 affiliate organizations, 6 affiliate regions worldwide, 60 corporations worldwide
ISTE membership is a powerful and meaningful way for educators to connect with peers, to gather in a variety of forums to share the challenges and excitement of teaching, and to be part of a community that leads the transformation of education.
This group,s as its name suggests, is devoted to everything that has to do with the teaching and learning using smart board. It is very useful to share ideas, tips, and lesson files and collaborate to maximize our students' learning.
Teacher 2.0 is an independent community for educators to explore their interests and passions, and to build a network of support for educators at all levels. Through this community, with online events, interviews, and workshops, our goal is to have educators help each other become re-energized in their careers and in their contributions to the world.
The title says it all, this is a platform where you can get tips and about using technology in education. You will also learn how other teachers are using technology in their teaching. A site where various resources are shared in order to help facilitate the use of technology in the classroom.
Another great platform to meet new like minded educators and share learning and teaching resources. All teachers and advocates of education worldwide who share our philosophy and values are intrinsically part of our organization and can take the role of either facilitator or participant. The majority of participants of our projects (teacher/education development workshops) have been educators but may also include: community workers, NGO employees, government employees, student leaders, etc. Facilitators of projects are certified educators but may also include trained professionals in various fields.
The Student Branding Blog is the #1 resource for career and personal branding advice for high school, college and graduate students. It was founded on September 1st, 2009 by Dan Schawbel, the leading personal branding expert for Gen-Y. Students of all ages are not prepared for continuing education or stepping foot into the real world. This blog, with the support of experienced college career counselors and recent graduates, will help students capitalize on their own unique abilities. Aside from regular contributions from career experts and recent grads, there will be a weekly Student Branding TV show that goes over major topics from the week that are important.
This interview series and the community are devoted to providing an opportunity for those who care about education to share their voices and ideas with others. It's a place for thoughtful discussion on an incredibly important topic.
