Steve,

Here is a posting from Alex Ragone’s Learning Blog:

A few weeks ago, on the ISED-L Listserv, someone asked for a site that was a MySpace for teachers. I had been discussing Elgg with Dave Cormier and Jeff Lebow for a while, now. Arvind and I talked about online communities for educational technologists in our 21st Century Learning #7.

So the time has come. Last week, I emailed a proposal to Dave Cormier and Jeff Lebow at World Bridges and they gave us http://elgg.educationbridges.net . I set up an elgg installation and we’ve got 19 users right now.

What’s the point of this community? Here’s my purpose statement:

The purpose of this site is to create an environment for educators to collaborate about teaching and learning in the 21st Century. We at Education Bridges believe that to make the world a better place, educators need to share their best practices/lessons learned that are research as well as experience based practices.

So go to http://elgg.educationbridges.net — sign up, fill in your profile, and check out the View All Posts link under Your Blog to see what people are saying. Also, follow some of dave cormier’s beginner elgg suggestions — make a community (or two!). Start socializing. Start learning. I look forward to seeing what happens.

Connecte away!

Have you checked out Teachade.com, yet?

Hi Steve, I am new to Elgg but am really loving it over at the Educationbridges: Teachers Collaborating with Teachers site. So I want to endorse Vinnie’s comment. I posted about it recently at http://theopenclassroom.blogspot.com

Not sure, but you might take a peek at:

What would DOPA do to ELGG?
