For my affinity group, I have chosen Haiku. Haiku is a black board type of site that I am currently using for my induction. This site allows me to post my submissions, read others posts and ask them questions. I hope to learn different ways of implementing curriculum and mastering the CSTPs.
For my digg reader, I found that it does not have that many options under topics. I was looking for some behavioral/ classroom management blogs but there weren’t any. However, I did find a free technology blog for teachers, and a few good resources for 1st grade teachers. I would also like to find some tips for 1st year teachers, or tips on how to destress as a teacher.
Q1: How can you manage your time and read the post that are “worth it”.
Filtering through all the posts can be overwhelming. I have found that “Made for 1st grade” has been my favorite so far so I make it a point to click on the page first to skim through before looking at the whole list. However, I would like it if they could color coat them so it would be more visual at a glance.
Q2: How can I use my affinity group as being helpful rather than just another thing to do?
I need to set aside an hour a week to do my work for induction and read through the posts of other teachers to see if they have the same problems as I do and what some of the suggestions are.
