Start a Conversation


Remember that lesson you did in class last week? Maybe it was a creative writing sample, a chapter on ancient Rome, or an overview of long division.

Odds are, the ideas and discussions from that lesson ended in the classroom that day.

But what if those ideas and discussions went beyond the classroom?

What if your passion as a teacher, the curiosity of your students, and the interest and participation of their parents were combined in an open environment where sharing, teaching, and learning became one?

Consider the possibilities:
You begin a conversation about an historical figure, a mathematical concept, or current event. Instead of the lesson ending based on the clock in the classroom, it continues. It is kept alive as students dig deeper, asking questions and furthering the discussion. It gains new perspective as parents add their experiences, contributing to the knowledge that is evolving and proliferating.

Think about what it would mean to the students that had trouble grasping a concept, the ones that wanted to delve deeper into the topic, or to the parents that enjoy their involvement.
 
Join Classroomn and start that conversation. Invite your colleagues, students, and their parents. Encourage them to comment and begin conversations of their own.

Do you want a wide audience to appreciate your expertise, opinions, and insights? Get showcased in the Features section on the homepage and let your knowledge flow beyond your classroom. Become a regular contributor and showcase your expertise to the world.

Or, do you want to limit who sees your conversations? Learn how you can create private and public groups to manage who sees your content.

Encourage your colleagues, students, and their parents to join in.
