Ask Judi!This week's input comes from Lucy: "TeachFocus.com: An interactive online educator community" Greetings! I am the Community Director at TeacherFocus.com, an interactive online educator community. I am writing to you today to tell you about our services and to ask for your support and the support of your publication in spreading the word about us. While teaching, I have found that there is not enough communication between teachers across the country and around the world. As an example: every year educators "invent" a method of teaching that has been around for years, instead of actually building on that method of teaching and allowing it to evolve. I feel that I can help change all that, with one simple goal in mind: together teachers can achieve more. With that in mind, in partnership with the talented designers at ThinkHost.com, I have set up an online community forum where educators can easily communicate with each other through threaded online discussions. Our site gives teachers a place to put their ideas and questions to be discussed and answered by other educators just like them through our extensive software suite that allows nearly real-time communication between educators through a very user-friendly web interface. Please take a moment to visit the site at http://www.teacherfocus.com and see what we have to offer. I am very much open to hearing any other ideas and suggestions about how we may be able to work together, and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time, Lucy Vaysman, Founder and Community Director Good Luck! Each week, I'll use this area to answer questions that have been streaming in from YOU! As the saying goes, "If you have a question or comment, chances are that others have it too!" So please write us at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!

Districts that subscribe to the edumatch Premium Program get a revolutionary new tool for complying with state curriculum standards and a system of checks and balances for controlling district spending on software and. The program includes:
There's much more, of course. We encourage you to go to www.edumatch.com and click on Premium Program on the home page.
