Hi Suzie,
This blog is my second for tonight. I have found this new world of collaboration. I did not even no these types of sites existed. I have to participate in blogs for my class. I totally agree that teachers need to collaborate with their peers. This collaboration is imperative to success in education. For first year teachers, I think it is very, very important to know you have a network of support behind you that wants to see you succed.
During my first year of teaching, I expected so much. My expectations were very high, and I was very nervous. I thought I would have this great collaboration system going on but I was totally wrong. It was hard trying to collaborate on my grade level because everyone wanted to do their own things. This concept was very hard for me to grasp at first but then I just started collaborating with my other colleagues in the building.
This tool can be very crucial to education. A school that has all their teachers collaborating is probably a great place. I am still in search of that type of atmosphere. I think no matter how many years you teach collaboration with your colleagues is very important. Thanks!
I am very glad to see that you provided other opportunities to collaborate with fellow colleagues in education. If you cannot necessarily get it where you are, one can get from using their computer. The use of this tool allows other arenas to make this happen easier in teachers' lives.
