Remember the days of in-service- sitting for hours, while some topic is broadcast to the masses. It didn’t matter what the topic, as long as you were present to put in the time, you either walked away gaining some insight or you just walked away. As we move through the 21st century, more and more teachers are becoming responsible for their own professional development. The amount of education related material that is available on the internet is incredible and if you are not already connected to something education related, you are already behind the times. Listserves, 140 conferences, unconferences, edcamps, webinars, and even online communities like Nings, Twitter, RSS Feeds, Social Bookmarking and edweb can provide professional learning anytime- anywhere. But if you are looking for a place to start, edWeb can be that first step. edWeb is a learning community dedicated to educators. After a quick sign in process, you can search for and join any of hundreds of communities. Within these communities are blog sites, discussion forums and chat areas. You can post questions to your community or follow /participate in any of the discussion topics of interest to you. The great thing that Ed Web also has is webinars. Click to join these and engage in the discussions that take place during the show. Most take an hour to complete and the best part is that they should be about a topic you want to explore further.  Most webinars take place after 3 pm and if you miss one it will be archived for anytime viewing. If you are looking to get more from your PD, edWeb is a great place to start.
