Shari,
Wonderful posting! I too am in a class where the assignment was to explore "blogging". What started out
as an assignment has really proved to be much more than that. I see that on-line collaboration opens the
doors to other ideas. I am from the old-school where if you can help others, you do it because it is the
right thing to do. When I was teaching with 10 other teachers and we were all in the same grade level, I
felt like if I had a good idea everyone made me feel like I was trying to "out-do" everyone else and they
did not like all of my ideas. I was just teaching the way I knew how and wanted to. The on-line ideas that
I have learned have been very helpful and will be time-savers (something that all teachers value). Thank you
again and good luck with collaboration. Carol B.
Just another assignment
