Leslie, This is great idea! Can you imagine if we started communicating about kids through an open post?? It could lead to conversations about instruction and philosophy...Kathy wouldn't know how to handle the sense of community it would create!!!!!!!!!

And our computer specialists are in the process of setting us up so that we can actually plug into a space on each other's computers from our own computer so we can write lessons,keep records, and share parts of the responsibility of writing report cards... There are some kinks but this is the way we are responding to the issue of time and it really makes a lot of sense.... In a message dated 11/19/2008 9:06:43 P.M.

They are stretched so thin, and we have NO time to talk with the specialists that work in our rooms (we are full inclusion, or are supposed to be!). Thanks for the idea.
