__Session Description:__
This session will present and explore several collaborative technologies and social media (Diigo, Ning, Google Documents, Plurk and Twitter). We will survey their impact on new literacies, and their usefulness for continual professional growth and development. This interactive workshop will demonstrate how professional educators may integrate these tools into their classes to nurture collaboration and to foster democratic practices. Additionally, these tools provide opportunities for educators to continue on paths of life-long learning.
