- Hi Erika!
Welcome to the ISTE Community Ning! You are now an important member of a year round social network where educators can share tech ideas, resources, questions and suggestions with affiliated organizations, educational leaders, and ISTE members world-wide. The home page is updated automatically with forum posts and blogs, as well as links to important ISTE sites and tech news. Browse the videos and special interest groups available to you for more specific topics and watch for upcoming events.
I love your response on the forum question on "friending" our students in the Learning & Leading group! I am a high school media specialist and while I am quiet active on a variety of social networking sites, I would never consider friending my students! On the other hand, one of my dear friends uses the opportunity to teach her students appropriate online behavior.
You might consider joining one of the ISTE Special Interest Groups (aka SIGs) in order to get a more focused personal learning group. Here's is a list of the SIGs with links to more information about each group: http://u.nu/42454
Looking forward to your contribution! Glad you joined us!

"Are web resources mature and stable enough to abandon textbooks in the classroom?"
"Does a shift away from full-featured computers towards mobile devices compromise the ability of students to create in the classroom?"
"Does a school have a respon…
That's a good one, Shelley. Would you be willing to take a side?
Thanks Michael!
A good question for this would be:
