Reminder about your friendly neighborhood teachers' forum.

Back in September, 2006, my Orientation roommate set up a messageboard for public school teachers from our group to keep in touch, stay on top of happenings and gatherings, share lesson plans and tips, and do whatever else people on messageboards do. It's Waygook.org and isn't exclusive to Jeollanam-do or to public school teachers, although I'd especially encourage teachers in the area's program to join and contribute. Now that the new semester is here it's nice to know of another resouce for materials and teaching tips. To my dissatisfaction the first batch of teachers weren't as involved as I would have liked, and in general weren't very interested in sharing, but business has seen some spikes since then and there's a nice collection of stuff so far. Anyway, an online community is only as strong as its contributors, and the more the merrier and all that jazz, so if you're looking for a place to trade and get feedback on lesson plans, talk about teaching, gab about the news, or go to a place a little more civilized than the bigger forums in town, take Waygook.org for a spin.
