Welcome to our collective blog!

We talked during the PACT meeting about creating a repository for resources that we found useful and wanted to share amongst ourselves. A blog seems like the easiest way to do that, allowing for multiple editors, tagging of entries for easy sorting / retrieval at a later date, and the ability to subscribe easily via RSS feed. I hope everyone will take a sec and toss up a quick post - nothing that takes too long, since we want to make this easy for all of us.

For example, here is a link to my edublogs blog that I used a couple of years ago in Wiscasset. The main blog was what I posted for students, but you will find links to the student blogs in top bar under 2008-2009 blogs. Feel free to take a look at what they posted as their e-portfolio that year. This was before we started using Google Apps as a school, which we started in 2009-2010.   Note that I made a custom header in Photoshop with examples of student work. If anyone wants help making one that will work in their blog please let me know and I'm happy to lend a hand. :)


Don't worry about what you post - helpful links, questions, videos, teaching resources, lists of art teachers on twitter (oh . . I have that somewhere . . .) or whatever seems relevant and helpful in your own - and thus our! - journey of learning.


**One note - please "label" your posts with some way for us to call it up again. If it's a video for elementary, add  - and separate by comma! - elementary, video, k, 1, 2, 3, 4,     or whatever labels seem relevant. If it's on Picasso, feel free to put Picasso in as a label. The only "wrong" way is not to label it at all! :)
