My husband, sports fan and literary fan, just told me about this site run by Bill Simmons of ESPN that features Dave Eggers of McSweeneys.  Thought it might be something MC Poppers would like: http://www.grantland.com/.

Cheers.

Hi Ryan!

   Yes this website is awesome, I'm glad Kathie had us check it out. Thank you for the recommendation. I did join the group. Take Care!

Hi Ryan!

Thanks for your response.  I'm a newbie at this.  I have a lot of resources I'd love to share-I'm just not sure where.  I have compiled a list of over 500 websites for 5th grade Science teachers.  I have aligned them with the Ohio Content standards but they are also grouped by topic.  I have favorites that I use on the smartboard, to collect lesson plans and websites for students.  I have them on a Word document and would be willing to email them to anyone who's interested.  Thanks again.

Julie

Ryan,

Are you sure you want me to paste it on the wall?  The document is 42 pages. I could edit it down.  Please forgive my stupidity, I'm new at this sharing stuff:)

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I look forward to exploring MC Pop more as I try to wrap my head around being a 6th grade teacher - thanks for the group suggestions.  I hope your surgery and recovery go well.

Thanks again-

Stacy

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for including me - I joined the math group too.

Meg

Saludos Ryan!

Thanks for your suggestions to join other groups. I'm glad that I have found a group of teachers that share the same idea of what a class should be like. I'll be looking forward to share ideas with you.

Carol

hey, Ryan - thanks for the invite to join but I'm already a member already (although more of a watcher than a participant.) Love what you're doing here!

Thanks for the suggestions Ryan.  I'm enjoying getting to know the site.  

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for the warm welcome!! I hope to become more involved as I explore the site!

Hi Ryan - thanks for the greeting. I have the pleasure of doing a variety of things in my job. One of them is helping keep area district teachers (K-12) up-to-date on cool sites and upcoming technology. I found out about this site from a distribution list I'm on for librarians. I'm looking forward to exploring this site and learning how it can be utilized.

Cool! Thanks Ryan. You made me feel like home. Now I believe I've made a right choice to join you guys in this group. May I have the link for the gaming group? I'm just so fond of making games!

Awesome! Thank you sooooo much!!! Yeah, almost everyone loves games. 

Thanks, Ryan.  Saw your presentation at the NMSA conference in Louisville and really enjoyed it.  Looking forward to the book.  :)  

Thanks, can't wait until winter break so I can have more of a chance to get more involved!  The site looks great!!!!!

Thanks for the suggestion, Ryan.  I am so impressed to see that Yang made comics for Algebra! How awesome. That guy is amazing.

Looking at your profile, I realized I am the "anti-you". I teach math and English as a second language and you teach everything but math and foreign language! (Am I revealing too much of my geeky self here?)

Anyway, looking forward to participating in the ning.

Joan

Thanks so much for the suggestions, Ryan! Can't wait to check it all out! 

Thanks, Ryan. I'm excited to be here! 

Thank you Ryan!  I'll be sure to check it out! :)

Thanks, Ryan. I'm enjoying checking out the website.

Awesome, I'm liking them both!

Ryan, I am looking for the resources on the CCC site, but cannot find them. Can you help me????

Found it !

Thank you so much for the recommendations! What a great website with wonderful collaboration!

No, sir. I think I'm to verbose...

Here it is: http://www.huffenglish.com/?p=2210

Thanks.  My twitter handle (weird term) is #ajr1206.

Glad you're feeling well enough to resume oversight of MCPOP!

Anna

Thanks Ryan!

Thank you for the warm welcome, Ryan, and for the additional links to resources! And thank you--in advance--for broadcasting my question in the upcoming week's broadcast of CS ?s. I'm looking forward to learning more from the community!

Ryan,

Are you teaching a course through TIDE on Differentiated Instruction?  Will classes be held at Waubonsie High School and what are the dates?  The catalog dates are different than the email I got from my gifted resource teacher.  What is the policy if I cannot be there one day for the whole time (I have a prior committment for the afternoon but can be there in the morning).  Thanks in advance for the info! 

Thanks for the suggestions, Ryan, and for the crowdsource!

I also thank you for the suggestions!  I am so glad to have found this site!

Thanks, Ryan! I am a first year teacher and school is approaching quickly! I will definitely start looking at the groups when I am planning lessons! :)

The teachers I know all say the first year is survival and to beg, borrow, and steal material to get through it :) Thanks for the link - looks like some great stuff!

Hi Ryan! Thanks for the info, as a future French and PE teacher, I'm looking forward to finding goodies from these forum as I start planning lessons! Go blue right back at you!

Thanks! I am always looking for things to keep the classroom exciting:)

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your message. Your site is excellent, you are doing a great job!
I hope you 'll like my book.
Best Regards from Greece,

Thodoris

Thank you Ryan!

Thank you. I sure will.

Hi! 

I am an English teacher. Thanks for the recommendations and the fantastic site!

Hi Ryan

this is Wendy , I am a teacher of History and Caribbean Studies.

Hello-

I hope you are doing well. Are you still a part of Ditrict 201 initiatives? There has been a lot of change in the short amount of time I have been here. Take care.

Thanks for the group recommendations Ryan! I joined the site in one of my 'scouring the internet for a certain resource' journeys and never got around to really exploring it. But I joined the group and will make a note to explore this place more soon :)
