We are only ten days away from the launch of Connected Educator Month (#ce13). At The Fund, we have decided to participate, and we would like to encourage you to participate as well.
Not sure what being a connected educator means? Basically, you are a connected educator when you are learning and connecting to other educators across school, district, state, and country lines. By connecting beyond your own location you learn and develop your own professional learning community (#PLN).
Over the next few weeks we will finalize our plans about how we will participate and promote Connected Educator Month, but we'll let you in on a few of our ideas thus far.
During October's #ce13
We will highlight Kentucky teachers who are engaged, connected, continuously learning, giving, and receiving from others within our state and beyond our state. We also hope to showcase collaboration globally because we know Kentucky educators connect with educators across the world. While one social media platform over another is not necessarily best, we will be using Twitter, Facebook, our blog, Linkedin and perhaps some other online collaboration tools as well. The point is to be involved!

Our staff members will continue with twitter
chats launched by Kentucky teacher Donnie Piercy and encourage educators and community members to join those chats, too. All of us together have the potential to impact education in positive and meaningful ways. Join us Thursdays 8 pm #KyEdChat.
We will emphasize digital citizenship
week October 21-25 by providing
suggestions and ideas for teachers to try in their classrooms with
students.
We welcome your ideas, feedback and participation in ways that makes sense to you.
