When I decided that I wanted to help teachers use technology and social media I had to come up with a plan. This is phase one of that plan. To create a community of teachers and educators who are passionate about learning new things, so that they can help spread this community to all of the other teachers in their schools and social circles.
Community is something I really believe in. I know that it has power. So what I would like you all to do it to tell all the teachers you know about this project. Especially teachers in the NYC area and let them know about our meetup group. We will be planning the first event very soon.
I also would like to know what you all would like to learn during these sessions, what challenges do you face in your school with technology? What road blocks are you hitting?
I would like to note that my goal for this group is to help educators use social and community building tools (not so much physical equipment) to engage students inside and outside of the classroom.
The over all goal of this project is to create a curriculum for teachers that can easily be brought into staff development days and distributed through online video.
