Kim Caise, Lorna Costantini and Peggy George will be hosting another Classroom 2.0 LIVE show. As an extension to the Classroom 2.0 Ning community, Classroom 2.0 “LIVE” shows are opportunities to gather with other educators in real-time events, complete with audio, chat and desktop sharing.  A Google calendar of upcoming shows is available at http://live.classroom20.com/calendar.html.

Join us Saturday, April 13th, when Lisa Dabbs will present ”New Teacher Community and Twitter Chat”. Lisa is the innovator of the weekly new teacher Twitter chat and helps to foster strategies for teachers new to the profession to engage in communities designed to strengthen their teaching practice.
