Anybody interested in being a mod of a particular board? You would only be responsible for the specific board you want to moderate.

I use ProBoards often and find it much easier for a discussion than FB.

I'm glad we finally have a forum.

What about another category for art and music about education by educators? Just a thought.

Hopefully the discussion and information exchanges will become as varied as the FB group(s). I've learned so much from everyone!

I would gladly moderate also. What about a board for elementary teachers, then one for middle, and high, and then higher ed? That way questions and answers could be more specific. I love hearing about the different issues/concerns at all levels but often feel like I cannot answer based on being an elementary teacher, and not knowing how high school or middle school schedules work. Just a thought.

Possibly. I have boards set up for several hot button issues (vouchers, TFA, charters, etc) and have considered removing them and just letting the discussions run independently in the "too hot" section. If there ever seems to be an overwhelming number of hot issues that could merit their own board then absolutely.

So I only know enough to know that I think this is a sterling idea and am looking forward to participating.
