For a group of teachers working in language arts classrooms, common shared resources might include sites connected to reading, writing, problem solution essays, evaluation essays and poetry resources. For social studies teachers, shared resources might include sites connected to topics of study like Greece, Rome, World Wars, Middle Ages, Europe, South America and current events.
Common tags, then, could include the name of their school, followed by their grade level, content area, and topic of study. Here's an example of the tagging language that my professional learning community has developed:
salem6la_reading
salem6la_writing
salem6la_ps
salem6la_eval
salem6la_poetry
salem6ss_rome
salem6ss_greece
salem6ss_ce
Lissa Davies on 20 Mar 12Purpose of the Teachers' Lounge The purpose of the Professor Garfield Teachers' Lounge Section is to provide free, user-friendly, and standards-based learning materials for the classroom teacher, parent, tutor, or mentor. These materials are intended to support and supplement the ongoing work of the classroom teacher by providing leveled materials (plans, activities, downloadables, and printables) that are retrievable by grade level, subject, and/or national standard. Every effort is being made to provide pre- and post-assessment tools where appropriate and useable.
