Hello all...I've been a member awhile and like to think I have 1000s of teacher friends. Currently I am trying social networking to get a small microgrant for summer literacy resources...please vote for me! (www.weareteachers.com microgrant tab--then look for "beat the summer slide"...click on vote, then in the "search applicants" box, type LAURA KING. I'm on the page...second one down. Just follow the directions...WOW, if I could get this little grant, I will know that social networking between teachers is not only fun, educational, supportive...but it actually gets you some money. As our district struggles more and more with the financial crunches, as well as the increasing expectations, I think it is important to expand our resources and be creative. '

Anyone out there ever received a social networking grant? I have found all the vote recruting a little tiring, but each time I see my totals go up, I get pretty excited!!
