 * Go To Groups **

**What:** A small group of TE 831 students who work together throughout the semester, in order to encourage and support one another in their quest to study, learn and integrate technology into their own lives, #|schools, and teaching.

**Why:** The 19th and 20th Century model of U.S. education was one that put the teacher in the front of the classroom and established that s/he knew everything. However, with the birth of technology and considering the information age in which we live, the teacher is no longer the person who "knows everything." In the 21st Century, the teacher's role is that of a co-learner, at the same time s/he facilitates students' learning, creating opportunities for learning and growth.

**How These Groups Work:** Each group is meant to function as a professional learning team/support system. If/when you have questions about an assignment, how to post something to the course wiki, a specific technology, you're looking for ideas, or you just need to bounce an idea off of someone, these are the people to go to. You can use email, Skype, Google chat, a Facebook page, Twitter, or any other means of connection throughout the semester that works best for the group.

Groups are listed below; to the best of my ability and when possible, I tried to align each group with either secondary or elementary (depending on what people are interested in and/or certified to teach). However, there is some "mix-n-match" in each group. ** Please add your email address and Skype ID in your "box" once I've gotten the groups assigned. **
