Classroom 2.0: A Safe, Social Network for Educators
I have been exploring a safe, social network for educators. This is Classroom 2.0.
While I don't know much about social networking, and I only have a dim understanding of "what it means to ask someone to be your friend," I see that there is a lot of energy and excitement on this site.
In fact, the idea of teachers helping teachers in a personal way seems to be appealing to many teachers. I intuit that "fact" from the growing list of participants.

The fact that people can post picture of themselves, add music, connect to videos and make comments seems to have an appeal. It is nice to see that people from different countries around the world are participating.
More importantly, the site is easy to use.
What we don't see is much of the "true contumacious" viewpoint such as you find on Classroom Toolkit and our Newsletter.
School District Employees Don't Dare Say what we Say!
We also noticed that most of the participants on this site are employed by school districts. This is as it should be since these folks are real teachers, the "real deal."
But, the discussions are not as lively as they might be, and "rants seem rare," at least I haven't encountered one yet.
"Big Eyes" are upon your online posting, and despite "whistle blower laws" telling truths can be hazardous to your career's health.
Check out Classroom 2.0!
You might enjoy the site, you might learn from your colleagues…and you will be safe.
