\"Workshop<\/a>

Answers to the question, “why are you here?”<\/p><\/div>\n

Our program to have teachers use social networking to connect and learn from each other continued early this summer. We added six teachers to our mix and gave them a short, two-day immersion into the world of blogging and tweeting to connect to learn.<\/p>\n

Here’s a website that I put together to help anyone interested in trying out blogging and tweeting: Social Networking for Professional Development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Four of the six teachers started a blog<\/a> right away:<\/p>\n

Crow Fewmets<\/a>
\nShiobhan Fitzpatrick A Middle School Counselor<\/a>
\nBirth to Five<\/a>
\nMiddle School – An Odyssey of its Own<\/a><\/p>\n

Still waiting on the other two (I will update once I get their links).<\/p>\n

They each started Twitter accounts<\/a> on day 2 and we practiced using Twitter:<\/p>\n

Kathy Panks<\/a> (elementary school teacher)
\nChristie Johnson<\/a> (preschool special education)
\nShiobhan Fitzpatrick<\/a> (middle school counselor)
\nShannon Lowrie<\/a> (middle school language arts and history teacher)
\nBarb Fogerson<\/a> (high school counselor)
\nDebra Gilbreath<\/a> (Chimacum Schools Librarian)<\/p>\n

Looking forward to staying connected this summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
