** Purpose: **
To establish an online learning community to share ideas on how technology is being used in the classroom. "It is essential to teach the basics in which learning skills, in addition to content, are the focus. Students require skills that allow them to communicate in a technology-enriched society. They need technical as well as traditional reading and writing skills, and they need analytical skills for accessing and applying information. Problem solving and reasoning skills must be learned so these students become analytical thinkers in a digital age. Students expect these skills and new subject matter to be taught with engaging methodologies and digital tools." (Long Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020, Introducing the 21st Century Learner, p. 7) Teacher collaboration is one way to improve student learning. An online community using a wiki can save time and bring teachers together from different grade levels to share lessons and activities that integrate technology into content areas in the classroom.
