Today in LTT (Learning and Teaching with Technology) we explored 8 new sites to promote teacher collaboration and iGoogle. IGoogle is great. I prefer it to netvibes. It is easier to learn and set up. Our group looked at http://teachersconnecting.com/. It allows teachers from all over to buddy up for a wide assortment of projects. I found this site as well as some of the others interesting. I made an account for www.teachersconnecting.com for future use to collaborate with someone in a similar grade level. My goal is at some point to develop a project that promotes writing and oral language. I liked the feature on choosing your comfort level in using technology and participating in projects. It really is tailored to find the best match for each teacher. The projects stretch across the content areas learning about different communities and people, as well as give the students an audience. It would be an exciting learning opportunity.
The other sites visited were also interesting, (http://edupln.ning.com/, http://www.classroom20.com/, http://www.jenuinetech.com/). All these sites basically offer teachers the same opportunity to chat, find resources, connect, and view projects.
