Link: Ta'iala Teacher Resources
I'm really excited about the website that I have started. The site is a wiki-type collaborative site where my teachers can save and share the resources that they find online. EDCS 480 has opened my eyes to how useful the internet can be in our daily practice. Before this class, I considered the internet to be a useful research tool and a great way to keep in touch with people. How I wish that I had been better informed about the tools available!
As useful as the internet is, however, we all know that being online is like deep space travel: you think you've only been asleep for a few minutes but really, hundreds of years have passed you by. My hope is that the Ta'iala Teacher Resources site will save my teachers valuable time. Instead of spending hours on the internet trying to find something, they can turn to TTR and hopefully find that one of their colleagues has posted what they need.
I realize that it will take a while before the site will have enough on it to make it as valuable as I imagine it becoming, but I can already see it shaping up nicely. I will have my secretaries complete the directory and upload school forms and documents. Just having those things in a central location that the teachers can access at anytime will make a significant difference in our productivity.
I am also hoping that as the teachers add things and use things from the site, it will inspire them to use technology more often.
Go-o-o-o-o Titans!
