Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to our course blog! For those of you new to blogging, hopefully this experience will expand your ideas for online communication to use in your classroom or for personal use.

For you bloggers out there, please feel free to use options you are already familiar with such as adding links or other helpful media to your posts. Each month, you will be logging in and posting your thoughts and comments related to our course reading.

This is a place where you can share and discuss how what you are learning from your course readings, from our discussions in our meetings, and your interactions with your professional learning communities and grade level groups as you collaborate to find strategies and solutions to meet your students' needs as readers and writers.  

Please share successes and failures as you work to implement what you are learning into your classroom practice.  Most of all, reflect on your learning process. In order for us to extend our classroom community to an online setting with this blog, it is important that you also read and respond to the posts of your peers. After each month's course meetings, please post your thoughts and then also choose two of your colleagues to respond to as well. Please also feel free to share any questions, comments, or suggestions.

I look forward to the learning process that will occur from this online community.

Sincerely,

Dawn Mitchell and Heather Register
