Social Networking group--NYSCATE

NYSCATE (The New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education)" is a non-profit, professional organization representing more than 10,000 technology using educators and administrators in New York State. NYSCATE is an affiliate of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and cooperates with such partners as the New York State Education Department, state and national educational organizations, private sector corporations, and publishers to further the  use of technology in our schools. NYSCATE is involved in helping define statewide policy regarding the use of technologies in education."

NYSCATE is a social networking group that I want to try in my future career. I think it's a useful and user-friendly website because I find a lot of useful information in this site. It provides you with a different groups that you can join in and a forum that diverse topics are discussed. Members share their ideas through this site and connect each other together. Say, one of the members provide a useful link that tells you to read blogs that would be useful for you if your school is using Charlotte Danielson 2007 for their APPR. (Blogs that you need to read) So for those teachers whose school is using Charlotte Danielson 2007 can go to this link and find some useful information by this link.

As what Alan Levine says in the clip Alan Levine-New Media Consortium, we can build up our own social networks by connect with our colleagues, friends or other medias. We are not born to know everything, as teachers, we also need to learn new things, ideas that help us in teaching. One of the ways to get to know more is by connect yourself with others by social networking groups.
