Open Your Door: Why We Need to See Each Other Teach
This information was shared with me from Megan Hach, intermediate instructional coach. This blog is by Jennifer Gonzalez. She has a HUGE amount of information and ideas on her website. This is her philosophy of her blog.
"With this site, I hope to create what I did not have myself: a vibrant, encouraging, stimulating community of teachers, supporting each other toward excellence. I believe if we can reach across the limits of geography and find each other, there’s no limit to the amazing things we can accomplish."
Here are the reasons she thinks we should open our doors.
Reason 1: Seeing Each Other Succeed
Reason 2: Seeing Each Other Fail
Reason 3: The Intangibles
If you would like to find out more details on her thoughts read the blog listed below.

Google Classroom
"Classroom is a free web-based platform that integrates your Google Apps for Education account with all your Google Apps services, including Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It’s designed to save you time and paper.
Classroom also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each class to help keep everyone organized. Teachers can attach material from their Drive folders to assignments they create. Students can also attach files from their Drive folders to coursework they submit in Classroom. Any files submitted as part of an assignment are automatically stored in Google Drive.
Students can keep track of what’s due on the assignments page and on Calendar and begin working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom."
I can help set this up if you are interested!
