Welcome to the Building Learners Project
Welcome to the Building Learners Project, a pilot project offered jointly by TeachersFirst.com and TRIntuition’s workBench. This blog serves as the “home base” for this project, giving teachers a place to ask questions, share successes large and small, and document the progress of the pilot as they pass through. The project began in April, 2008, with an offer for 100 members of TeachersFirst (a FREE membership) to share TRIntuition’s powerful creative tool, the workBench, with their students. Learn more about the Building Learners Project on this blog. If you would like to join the project, simply read the agreement and complete the quick application. We’ll send you an email within a couple of days, telling you how to log in and get started.

This is a sample comment so new members of the blog can see what they “look like.”
Are we supposed to attempt a draft project beyond our initial “application,” or just wait to hear more?

Good question, Mike. I think each teacher involved with the project will have a different approach, but all will want to “play” with the workBench tools at least a little to become familiar with them. I hope you will share your discoveries and frustrations (hopefully not a lotof frustrations) on this blog, so others may benefit.
I would recommend a “play first, then plan a project” approach. You will have a better idea how to structure your project after playing with the tools. We hope that –at the least- everyone will have a definite plan for how they will use this collaborative opportunity no later than September 1.
I notice that at least one participant has posted a “getting to know you” type introduction– a terrific idea. I hope others will follow, so you can help each other.
