Tonight I looked for groups interested in elementary general music. Sadly, I did not find any; only resources for purchasing materials. :( I first thought about just giving up. Then, I remembered the quote about changing myself this year or being a failure. I am not a failure. So, instead of being frustrated and quitting, I decided to go ahead and make my own group.
I created a Diigo group called Elementary General Music. This is set up for my colleagues and I to share the best lesson plans, websites, you tube videos, media files and other fun resources that we are using in our classrooms. I invited all of the elementary general music teachers in the district and may branch out to invite others in my PLN. I posted the first bookmark and although it is not a personal creation of my own, I am proud to say that I have started to reach out and share. I plan to do so on a regular basis. :)
Tracy-yippeee for you! What a huge accomplishment! Not only did you not give up....you encouraged others to join in and share by creating this group. The power of groups comes when multiple people are out there sharing info. I can tell you are really working toward making sense out of this content.
