PS90 Teacher Collaboration Team
ps90collaborate.blogspot.com/
I created this site in the hopes that my colleagues and I can share ideas about making our students' educational experiences more rich and meaningful. If you are a PS90 teacher who wants to join, this send me an e-mail and I'll set it up. This will help us be more aware of what we are all teaching so that we can find opportunities to make connections for our students. Posted at 12:43am on Mon, Sep 08 2008
