Please join us tonight on Teachers Teaching Teachers, as we talk about important changes (improvements, we hope) that we’ve been making to the site. If you are thinking of using http://youthvoices.net this year, we especially invite you. And we ask that ou be ready to Skype in to our conversation! We would like to know if and how you are planning to use Youth Voices this coming year.Youth Voices is much more than a web site. It is a community of teachers, working together to concoct a collaborative curriculum that supports our students in peer-to-peer online discussion. Chris Sloan, Paul Allison, and Susan Ettenheim started working together on this project in 2003. As we begin the 2009-2010 school year, we are excited to invite you and many more teachers into this work. We are in the process of making several important changes to Youth Voices. Here are a couple 1) Collaborative Curriculum: http://youthvoices.net/curriculum — We’re building it now. Join us! 2) The guides http://youthvoices.net/guides have been updated, organized… and there is more work needed here.3) There are now three main ways for students to add Discussions to the site - See under Add a Discussion. There is more! But that’s probably enough for now.Please come to TTT tonight! We would love to work with you and your students this year.Tune in Teachers Teaching Teachers at http://EdTechTalk.com/live at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesdays / 01:00 UTC Thursdays Talk to you soon!
