Facebook is great for social networking. I suppose I could see a use or two in a math classroom, but I would be afraid that the postings would largely be teenage social angst and, other than getting to know the students better, I feel that Blackboard offers more in the educational arena.
Joined MACUL - we'll see if they accept me...
ISTE has a lot to offer in the technology area - for $95 - implementing NETS, forums and groups to belong to, a collection of webinars, a collection of the standards - along with additional resources to assimilate technology into the educational arena. "Teacher Educators" looked like one group that I would be interested in. My contributions would be based on actual experience in the classroom and in dealing with technology integration into the math curriculum. I am willing to try new things and, as with most teachers, willing to discuss the experience and offer feedback. I am a technology mentor at my school and would like to keep up with the latest and greatest.
