I wanted to create an online community that offered the opportunity for any educator to share her or his successes. Today’s teachers are extremely busy and finding time to explore worthwhile articles online is not always at the top of their priority list. Time is valuable.

This project was inspired by my new found admiration for Twitter. I first thought posting updates seemed a little ridiculous and privacy invading. After adding some followers, and being followed myself, I realized the amazing availability of knowledge that Twitter offers. Twitter is being used by millions of people. People in every profession. Bloggers are posting short descriptions of their latest entries. News companies are doing the same. A quick search can find answers to real time questions. Twitter is truly powerful in answering questions and finding information fast.

I wanted to create the same feel for educators. Compile stories, articles, helpful hints, and other valuable information in one place. Obviously, I cannot do this alone. That is why I am relying on you, the teaching public. You can have your articles published here to share with our worldwide colleagues. If you find a valuable article, I would love to read it and write a brief annotation to introduce the linked article.

This is a work in progress and will constantly change, as we all are used to in the education field. So stay tuned, visit often, and contribute your ideas.
