Thinking, Learning, and Growing Together


Let's be honest ... email is not the best medium for sharing. Everyone already gets too many emails in one day. It is difficult enough trying to read and respond to emails. The last thing we all need is another email with more information. This is where Google Blogger comes in!

Google Blogger makes it nice and easy to share content on the web. It easily allows you to insert and embed pictures, text, websites, videos, links, e-books and more! Moreover, you can choose to share your knowledge and experience with the entire world! You can't do THAT with email!

The Piedmont Intermediate Blog, created in Google Blogger, is a solution to learning and sharing with each other. Now that every teacher has access to the Blogger Account, anyone can contribute to the Blog by creating a blog post about anything he or she finds useful. The great thing about this system, is that we can all contribute to this blog at any time. This creates one place to learn and share with each other and it doesn't have to take up any more email space.

If you are interested in creating a blog post, I will be glad to provide step-by-step directions. It is very simple and I look forward to sharing our knowledge and experiences so that we can all benefit as a personal learning community of teachers!
