Learning Communities among New Teachers

Submitted by Brett Hinton on July 6, 2006 - 10:03pm.

I attended a session on creating Online Communities for Novice Teachers and decreasing Teacher Dropouts. One key point that was shared was that if teachers did something 3 times, they would be much more likely to do it and do it well the fourth time.

Another element they discussed was Tapped In. I'm not very familiar with it, but from what I understand is that it is a flexible synchronous and asynchronous community that teachers can participate in. I just wonder what advantage it provides over tools that have a discussion forum/chat - is it because it is a hosted solution that varied groups can participate in with very little advance planning?

Morning Workshop Notes

Submitted by Brett Hinton on June 28, 2005 - 7:00am.

Here is my report I filed with eSchool News.  I haven't seen any of the two reports I've filed with them posted yet, but I'll keep you posted.  Here are my notes from the terrific morning workshop I attended.  It provided some great ideas and motivation for rolling out online professional development in our school district.  I even had the opportunity to begin setting up my own sample online professional development class in Blackboard. It is an excellent system.  I'm looking forward to the Moodle workshop that is starting right, so I better go...
