Welcome Teachers!

Welcome to the Blogging among In-Service Teachers research project! I am very pleased to be working with you.

We have met face to face during my visit to Indonesia. I would like to reinforce some of the information I have given you during our meetings and provide a bit of new information as well.

Our group blog can be found on www.blogger.com. This is the place where you will find information about the course, assignments, and readings and videos.  We will also use this site for our class discussions.  You will soon be getting an email with an attached handout for instructions on how to: 1) get your assignments, 2) draft your blog posts, 3) post you ideas and 4) give comment to your friends’ posts.

There are many resources and a lot of information on the site, and we will continue to build and add to it as the term goes along.

Please read the handout carefully and set up your blogger account as soon as possible so that you can join our course site, and meet our first task deadline by Thursday, Oct 24 (Pacific Standard Time). If you have any difficulty at any point in the process, please let me know as soon as possible, so that I can get you what you need.

One of the most effective ways to participate in a distance course of this nature is to check in regularly. Check your email and the blogger course site daily if possible to learn what other participants are saying and to make your own contributions. It can sometimes be uncomfortable getting started because it may be a new means of communication for many of you, but I am eager to hear from you and start getting to know you, so please don’t hesitate to jump in.

I am very much looking forward to working with you.

Kind regards,

Anik Wulyani
