Tool #6 Use Tools to Promote Discussions

Promoting on-line discussions is an exciting aspect of on-line communities. I am part of the Diigo community for I-Coaches and Emodo for SBISD teachers. In Diigo, I have posted bookmarks to share with others. Asking questions is a great way to engage others to share their ideas with you.  I posted videos from the Historyteacher's Youtube channel on Edmodo to share with the SBISD community. As long as the conversation is focused on professional discourse about lessons and strategies, on-line communities are exciting groups to which one can belong.
