EdChat Interactive is a new type of free, online PD brought to you by some of the same folks who created #echat twitter discussions, including Tom Whitby and Steven Anderson, who are both friends of mine and in my Personal Learning Network and great educators.
They created it as a way for educators to share and learn the best ideas, practices and techniques that are working in schools. Their events are interactive and social and very well done.
Previous events are archived on the site.
They have just announced some new events:
