Comment by Colin Graham on January 7, 2011 at 9:34pm: One of my goals for 2011 is to mentor 100 teachers/educators in using Twitter for CPD, so this group is very timely! Thanks Lisa!

Comment by steph westwood on January 7, 2011 at 9:33pm: Thanks for the invitation to join a mentoring program. I am looking forward to collaborating with so many new people : )

Comment by Victor Hugo Rojas B. on January 7, 2011 at 9:24pm: I'm so grateful for the invitation to join this innovative and inspiring group. I really think that mentoring novice teachers will be the most challenging and empowering experiences through my teaching career. Then I'm looking forward to sharing and collaborating with peers.

Comment by Irene Farmer on January 7, 2011 at 8:08pm: Hi Lisa,

This is the best idea! If I had had this my first year of teaching, I may not have contemplated suicide (LOL). What a great way to help new teachers and learn from each other.

I'll do my best to help out however I can! Thanks for putting the initiative forward!

Comment by EVRIDIKI DAKOS on January 7, 2011 at 7:36pm: Hi Lisa,

An excellent idea, congratulations!

Good to be among experts and passionate educators.I do not know how I can help but I will try my best. I am sure I will also learn a lot during our sharing! :)

Looking forward to collaborating.

Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on January 7, 2011 at 7:20pm: Hello All!

To keep the energy going after The Reform Symposium for New Teachers on Sat January 8, 2011...we are gathering passionate committed educators who want to "Pay it Forward" and share their talents and gifts with a new teacher.

We will be asking you to collaborate with us to be a "virtual" mentor or maybe even a f2f mentor to a new teacher who could use your support.

Monthly seminars are planned as well as #ntchats and Vokle.com chats.

Thanks for joining our group to give back to a newbie who will welcome your outreach and support. We look forward to great connections!

Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on January 7, 2011 at 7:09pm: @Tomwhitby Yay! You joined our group...thanks so much. :)

Comment by Yoon S. Lim on January 7, 2011 at 2:08pm: Hi Lisa & PLN!

Thanks for the invite. I can certainly try to help with new music teachers or find people who might be of help!

Looking forward to learning!

Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on January 7, 2011 at 1:45pm: @Kyle...absolutely! Please feel free to invite those that you want to add. We will be structuring and organizing the group more after RSCON11.

Comment by Kyle Pace on January 7, 2011 at 1:38pm: I think it would be great to get some content specific experts in this group so new teachers can have a place to ask curriculum specific questions.
