Final+Project+Proposal

I am working on this project individually, however I am collaborating with teachers in other grade levels at my school and using their experience to help further my understanding of my project and it’s potential impact. My project is going to be a resource for professional use and community building. I am going to create a facebook group for teachers. Several of my friends and family members are teachers and we are constantly sharing funny stories and ideas via facebook. In reality, I think I communicate more through facebook than any other channel, therefore I see this being a convenient resource for myself and many of my teacher friends. The intent of the project will be to encourage teachers to share funny stories and successes, ask questions, solicit advice, and share great ideas that should not be kept hidden. This group page could potentially spark a lot exciting conversation and sharing of great ideas, therefore I anticipate several different types of media being represented. This project most directly relates to the course objective of participating in the “Networked Culture”. However, I feel it will also indirectly relate to some of the other course objectives because I will be investigating tools that enable the networked world, and I will also be able to analyze the spiritual implications of electronic networks.
