Barb and others,

The tappedin chat and AALPD portion of the site is great. I am trying to figure out different ways I can use tappedin in IL for professional development. Those of you who did not get a chance to check it out should venture their. It is very easy to navigate and has a lot of interesting possibilities for at-a-distance PD use.

Have a good day.

C.

Hi Group,

If you are looking for a great online, FREE, way to do some at a distance staff development then you have to investigate tappedin.org. I was introduced to it by this listserv. I spent some time on it using the AALPD page and last night and today set up my own page for my trainers. I am going to encourage them to use it as a meeting point for their work with IL programs. I might even set up a page for the national partners my project has. Anyway, if you would like to chat about uses of tappedin.org in staff development, contact me (directly if you'd like) and maybe we can set up a time chat on tappedin or just exchange ideas via email. I don't mind doing it here either, but don't want people who are not interested to get frustrated with the convo.
