One of the ways we can extend our learning beyond the classroom is to take advantage of some of the amazing technology that is available to us. In this case, we’ll be using an online site called Collaborize to assist us in discussing our work beyond the classroom and across the three English 9 classes I teach this year.
You’ll be expected to use this site often, and be expected to contribute in a professional, meaningful way. This isn’t Facebook. This isn’t Twitter. This isn’t texting. Rather, this is our semi-public discussion space for all English 9 students, your parents and your English teachers. Treat it with care. Act responsibly. Share intellectually. Have fun.
See you online.
