Listserv
 An email list that users subscribe to with messages and responses automatically to to all subscribers.


 * // “The listserv is the heart of CFF. It is the pump that circulates the tech tools, the sharing of knowledge, the emerging technologies, the teaching and learning strategies, the communication, the collaboration, the place where we come to ask others for help or ideas.” //


 * Wordle **
 * Create “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
 * The value of using //Wordle// comes through the analysis of the words and their prominence or lack thereof!
 * Examples using the definition of professional development from the Learning Forward site:
