ElEdBlog Introduces Groups!

Group of teachers in a professional learning community.

Dear Professionals, Colleagues and Friends,

We would like to introduce you EledBlog Groups. ElEdBlog Groups are designed to allow educators to gather in small, more specialized communities with common goals. For example, a state educational association can create a group. District employees can create a group, as can an individual school. Specialists, such as PE, librarians, or bilingual teachers could create a group. Even a grade band, grade level, or a grade-level team within a building could create a group. A cohort of student teachers could create a group too. You get the idea. Groups are only limited by your imagination!

Classroom Blogs

Hello everyone,

We're thinking about creating a sub site (domain), perhaps classrooms.eledblog.com, which will be set up to facilitate classroom blogging. It will use a similar group feature like we have implemented here on eledblog, but be set up specifically for classroom blogs. We're interested in getting feedback from teachers out there to see what features you would like. We know there is already Edublogs, but as teachers, we feel we might be able to design an effective, free alternative. Plus with your input, we may be able to improve the idea. Thanks for your help and input on this idea.

Cheers,

Robert

Long Time, No Blog - The Latest

It has been almost 6 months since my last blog entry. I really had no idea how busy the end of year would be as a first year teacher. I took on a "video club" where we produced an end of year video for our school. While this was a blast, it really added just one more thing to my already over filled plate. I also had to support staff as they prepared for a new computer rollout by helping them make sure all of their files were saved in a networked folder etc. Though, perhaps the most overwhelming thing for me was not related to teaching.

About our Professional Study Group

This VES Professional Study Group is based on the recommendations described in Becoming a Literacy Leader, Supporting Learning and Change by Jennifer Allen to provide teachers with the opportunity to reflect, review and integrate new thinking into their classroom instruction. We use professional resources as springboards for discussion and personal examination. Most of what I have written here comes form Jennifer Allen’s wonderful book.
This year we have 10 teachers participating. We are Third Grade, Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade and Special education Teachers.  This is our fourth year for the book group and our first year using the blog.

At our first VES Professional Reading Group 2009-2010 meeting we covered a great deal in a very short period of time. 

The main highlights of our first meeting studying Units of Study were:

  • Covering the lessons the first time around seems to take much longer than expected
  • We decided we needed to create a mentor text list per grade level. Please Check this out:and THANK YOU Seattle!
