Watch for a new feature to go live this week. We want our conference to be a much richer and fuller experience than just the three days on-site. Many of you are familiar with Ning and the great things you can do on a Ning. NMSA has created a Ning for the conference. Watch for it to go live by the end of this week. We already have a technology group running even though the page is not yet live and we plan to have at least one group or forum for every conference strand. Conference presenters will be posting and answering questions leading up to the conference and following the conference.
The 25th anniversary MetLife survey revealed that 43% of educators do not communicate about teaching and learning with anyone outside their district and that 72% of educators have never read or written a blog about teaching. Hopefully, this Ning can be a vehicle not only to extend the conference but also to help create communities of practice for educators throughout the country and around the world!Tags:
