There are many ways I can encourage my fellow colleagues to engage themselves in all the ongoing development of educational technology.  As a department chair, I can suggest that they use resources such as Twitter and educational blogs to stay up-to-date on emerging technology.  I can also hold professional development courses for all my co-workers to introduce and teach how these resources can be implemented into their own ongoing learning.  As I become more involved and knowledgeable with these tools, I can become a part of other teachers Personal Learning Network.  I feel that Twitter, educational blogs, and Web 2.0 tools can be used to facilitate these goals
