The idea behind this article is that it can be used for sharing some of the ideas and materials that can help promote this community to Ontario Educators.
Contents |
commun-IT.org is a community site for Ontario educators interested in sharing ideas, resources, and knowledge about technology and learning.
Anyone with an interest in ICT and technology integration is welcome to join/take part. Current members come from all areas of the K-12 education technology realm, including classroom teachers, curriculum and ICT consultants, school administrators, and community partners such as representatives from government bodies and museums.
The social networking environment allows for the natural forming of groups around ideas. You are able to join groups within the community to focus on a particular topic or create your own group.
Teaching can at times be a rather isolating profession. commun-IT.org offers those with an interest in how technology can help provide and improve learning opportunities for student a place to come and "meet" like-minded educators from around the province. Visitors can either join the community, which provides a wide range of online collaboration tools (blogs, wiki, shared bookmarking) or just browse the publicly available material.
