Building
Learners
Project

If you have joined the project and have not had a chance to play in your new workBench space, take a look at the Tips and Starters here on the blog to get you going. Then tell us what happened by commenting here!

If you are a Building Learners Project teacher and received an email from the BLP blog with an odd alphanumeric password, IGNORE it. The tech folks accidentally sent some of these out. Try logging into this blog with the same email address and password as your TeachersFirst membership. Note: you only need to LOG IN to this blog if you wish to POST or COMMENT . But we strongly encourage you to do both!You will be receiving log-in information  for the TRIntuition workBench (subject line: BLP workBench account) within about 24 hours either side of any email from this blog. Registrations are being done manually (SOOO low-tech!) , since we are trying to monitor the “balance” of the 100 teacher spots. It is looking good that we’ll be able to match you up with another teacher for “cooperative projects,” as well, if you have asked for them.  Stay tuned as we receive more registrations!In the meantime, why not post an introduction on the blog so you can become comfortable with this tool. Maybe you want to tell us a little about some of your terrific ideas…or lack of them.

Hello, everyone!

Is it appropriate for us to introduce ourselves, since we will be in this experience together for the next few months?I am the Technology Coordinator at a preschool through grade 8 school. I teach technology classes to students, provide inservice training for teachers, plus coordinate anything else that relates to technology in our building. I also teach a Computer for Teachers class at a local college. For the last year or so I have been wanting to involve my students (and myself) with using Web 2.0 tools. I am really excited about the opportunity to try the workBench! Thanks TeachersFirst and TRInituition! I’m also new to blogging, so feel free to offer me any tips you see I might need (like what to do with the blue boxes I see on the right side of this page).
