As part of their original **PLP** project three years ago, Jim and Gene started conducting voluntary training sessions for their faculty members. At first the sessions ran early morning before school. This year they are conducting lunch time training sessions at least three days a week.

This session will be a hands-on session centered around Using Collaborative Tools as instruments for Professional Development.

Participants in this session will learn about and visit sites like but not limited to:
 * LiveBinders.com
 * Dropbox.com
 * Dropitto.me
 * TodaysMeet.com
 * Sendtodropbox.com
 * Pollanywhere.com

If attending this session you are encouraged to take your laptop, netbook or other electronic communication device, such as your phone. Bottom line, if it has internet capabilities, bring it with you. This hands-on session will have you creating accounts for some online sites that offer online storage with file sharing services, and other various cloud based resources. Jim and Gene will share with you some of the techniques used to help you get you on the way to becoming a **21st Century Educator**. Ideally what you learn today will trickle down through your faculty and into the laps of your students who are waiting for us to catch up.
