The Educator's Village is a concept created by Andrew Marcinek and Michael Milton, two teachers who seem to be pretty "down" with technology and its use in the classroom.  While the article had a couple of good quotes and thoughts about social media's role in the classroom, the point of the article was to let teachers know about this new site where they can share ideas and lesson plans.  The authors want to make The Educator's Village the "Creative Commons" of education.  Teachers will have the ability to share ideas, lessons, and tools on this site!

I think that there may be other sites out there that do the same thing, but probably they do not do it in the exact same way.  For example, I look at a lot of "sites" for English and history teachers.  The idea behind The Educator's Village is that any educator can post tools and strategies for the classroom, enabling teachers worldwide

  1. This site sounds like Pinterest for teachers. I just read an article about Pinterest and am anxious to try it out this summer when I have more time. This website may make searching easier and give teachers a great place for resources. Thanks for sharing!
