Technology in education is not the one new thing in town, it is the way we expand our teaching and learning. If we don't use it with an eye to relavance and rigor, the use of technology is pointless... This is why I chose this blog post to begin our group clog, the ABCs of PLN Power. Good teachers know how to teach, and good technology should enhance that good teaching through opportunities to expand student learning.

POPSIntroduction to "communities of practice" Not sure what to make of this concept, but it's interesting. Link should be www.ewenger.com/theory. Author's comment: Theoretically, my work focuses on social learning systems.I am trying to understand the connection between knowledge, community, learning, and identity.
