 * Welcome to the Learning Network Online Learning Community Wiki **

We know that intermittent one-time shots of PD are not a very effective way to promote continuous professional learning. WIKI's allow members to access //Anything, Anytime, Anywhere,// to supportive, collective professional learning. By networking teachers around common needs and concerns //WIKI's// can:
 * build a collective knowledge through teacher-to-teacher job embedded and meaningful discourse,
 * help to solve challenges, refine ideas, and create richer and deeper professional understanding.
 * //Members of a WIKI collaborate by sharing their ideas, resources, and experiences so the sum total on the WIKI... is greater than the sum of any of its parts//**. A true community of learners. Welcome.

 * =What's a Wiki? How does it work?=

**How We Will Begin to Use Our Wiki.** We will begin our wiki as a repository for learning resources developed for Learning Network sponsored PD sessions. Wiki members will be able to:
 * **access and download** the resources for their classroom use,
 * **share their experiences** of using the resources by entering posts in the discussion tab for each page.

The real power of the wiki is in the **DISCUSSION** tab. By sharing our experiences we will create a greater //"Wisdom of the Crowd"//:
 * What worked?
 * What didn't work?
 * How did you tweak the resource for your class?
 * Did you find other resources that helped?
 * HELP! Does anyone know about.....?
 * WOW! Look what My students did.

**Learning Network will continually monitor the discussions and pass along any requests to the resource creators so they can join the discussion to help build the knowledge.**
