The STEM for Girls Think Tank is an annual gathering of the educational leaders from around the country who are passionate about educating young women. The purpose of our conference is to find ways to better prepare and encourage young women to st...
I like following Will Richardson's feed.

I find his perspective if far enough away from mine that it challenges my thinking but is close enough that I don't dismiss it. For me, this chair is just right.
It is so funny! I just sent a tweet out this morning about this very thing! I will be sure to summarize and post what I find! Great question...
This isn't quite in the category you describe, but here is one of my favorite blogs to use to teach about RSS feeds. The author, Carol Richtsmeier, is a high school journalism teacher. She was the first teacher to receive the Courage in Student Jo...

I'm on the Board for the Online School but not teaching. Two teachers from our school will be teaching multivariable calculus and differential equations for the Online School, so they will be using Moodle for Harpeth Hall and Haiku for the Online ...
We used Blackboard at Harpeth Hall for two years and dropped it because of the high cost and very poor support. Blackboard was VERY frustrating. We will move our students to Moodle next year. We actually began the move to Moodle with our teachers ...

- Hi, Karen, How are you? Are you still at Harpeth Hall? I think I remember that you were going elsewhere for a while.... I am sure that I told you along the way that I left McGehees six years ago when I divorced my husband and moved to the NE to work at GFA. I love it here even though the winters are too cold and too long. We went through two years of huge construction and I have a new library that is fabulous. I remember thinking about you when I was packing up all the books and reorganizing. What about the friend that visited with you - I think she was retiring. Two of the members of my dept. went to the Laptop Institute in Memphis several years ago. Do you ever go to NECC? I'm not going this year but one of my dept. members will be there as well as two people from McGehees. I miss the girls school experience but have to say that I have really enjoyed the boys in a co-ed environment. Keep in touch and let me know if you are ever in this area - I am only an hour from NYC.

Hi Susan ~ I Twitter and I love my PLN on Twitter! I get teaching ideas daily, and I feel like I miss out on great discussion if I am away from Twitter for more than a few days. My Twitter name is BJacketsfan.
For all teachers of 2nd grade.
Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.

What do we need to do in order to better equip our students to become true leaders in a "flat world" that has both exciting opportunities and challenges at every turn?
I've been asked to design and teach a 1 or 2 session adult ed course on social networking, including Facebook and Linkedin, and perhaps Twitter. The participants may likely be seniors, though these days I'm not exactly sure what age constitutes a ...
