I received this today from Wikispaces.

Use them to enhance your blog!

You can now put your discussionforums, page history, table of contents, or list of top spacecontributors directly on any page. Click "Edit This Page" and clickthe embed widget icon (psst...the one that looks like a TV). There'snow a "Wikispaces" option where you will see the various widgets youcan easily put on your space.

Looking for a Teaching Job?

Here is a great site to start your search for a job.

http://www.agentk-12.org/

AGENT K-12 is the new online and print recruiting solution from Education Week, the largest and most respected K-12 newsgathering organization in the world.

Start early. It cannot hurt to get an idea of what is out there and what school districts are looking for.

Another excellent, local site is http://www.nj.com/jobs/

This site allows you to view The Star Ledger ads in a digital format.

Good luck!

Free Access to Edweek.org During Open House

Hey everyone,

I received this email today and thought I would pass it on:

This Open House, from January 15-30, is the perfect opportunity for you to experience unlimited, premium access to http://www.edweek.org/ for FREE. You have nine days left to find out why edweek.org is the one site top educators visit on a regular basis, and where you can now interact with your colleagues.

Take a look!

First Class Session

Today was our first class. It was very nice to meet all of you and discuss our upcoming semester. It was also nice to FINALLY find out who Young Jezzy/Jeezy (pronounced JEEZY/spelled?) is. Learning never ends...

Hopefully you can get started on creating your blogs and getting used to this format. If you need any assistance, let me know. I am also learning blogger.com.

To get you started and thinking, here is a link to an article on How to Start your Own Blog:

Furthermore, if you have any questions that you think other students may benefit from, you can post them here and I will publicly answer them.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to seeing you Tuesday!
