Much like teachers, we take the opportunity over the summer to create and plan for the upcoming school year. One great thing about our summer is the chance for our group to work together. Imagine how interesting it gets sometimes when strong personalities are in a room together for eight to ten hours a day brainstorming! But overall, it works kinda like a PLC. We all bring to the table different strengths and this is our chance to tap into that. I am always proud of the work our group turns out. The downside to spending all of this time together, is the withdrawal of that energy when we return to our respective schools.
That is where some great technology comes into play that you can use to bring the world into your classroom. We collaborate and communicate via Skype, Google Docs, and Google Chat. Would you like to learn how to do incorporate those tools into your lessons, just let me know!
