The concept is simple: We can all "deposit" ideas and suggestions into the bank and "withdraw" ideas as needed.<br /><br />Say you just learned about a great idea for celebrating the 100th day of school, you used it with your class and it went well. You are thinking, "wow I really want to let others know about this great activity." You would log onto our blog, and post your idea as a comment. As everyone follows the blog, and they come across your idea--presto, it's shared!<br /><br />Along the same lines, let's say you are at a loss for what to do with your class for the 100th day of school. You log-on to the blog and search for "100th day of school activities" and pull up the post from the teacher above. You may also creat a comment simply stating your need for "activity ideas for celebrating 100th day of school with my students..."<br /><br />We will also be using this space to offer feedback, opinions and suggestions on various other topics that affect our learning community.<br /><br />Enjoy, learn, think and inspire!<br /><br />Mitch<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/485252888117361239-8017180962224060463?l=calabasasideabank.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calabasas Teaching Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316450152873091679noreply@blogger.com8
