Dear Teachers, In addition to Gita's encouragements to come and join our new Teacher Collaboration discussion forum, (thank you, Gita) let me also invite you to check out the new Teacher Collaboration Portal created for teachers on WikiEducator. It is intended as a platform to hold professional development workshops, create content for use in the classroom, such as for instance, student guides and teacher handouts that can be shared among the global teacher communities, or develop a course specific to your needs which will benefit the teaching experience for instance, share knowledge or just come and learn from what has been posted. The ideas will flow.
If anybody already has something that they would like to contribute to this portal, feel free to upload or ask for help. What I am hoping to see is that this platform will develop into an active, creative and international platform of teachers for teachers who can meet and learn from each others. It is a place where to enhance the teachings in your classrooms, get inspired, trained, creative and empowered for the benefit of your students and yourself. The forum is open and un-facilitated, so anyone can take the lead for their initiatives, and anyone can come in and register themselves. We as a community are responsible for the posted content, so we will all keep an eye out on this. It would be fantastic if those that register in the discussion forum would also go to "people" tab on the Teacher Collaboration webpage (link below), to provide a few details, so in the end we will be able to see how far our network reaches, It will also enable us to connect directly and/or team up on likeminded ideas, to make this a reality. I will invite all those teachers to the forum and the portal created on WikiEducator who have joined us since January 2008 in any one of our Learning4Content workshops, so this initiative might grow fast. I encourage you to get the members of your faculties, schools and different teaching institutions involved by providing them with an introduction, the link to the teacher collaboration portal as well as the link of the discussion forum, which can also be found on the portal. http://www.wikieducator.org/Teacher_Collaboration http://groups.google.com/group/wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-forum Let's see where we get with these irst few steps.
