Calling all AP US Gov Teachers: Collaborate!

We need you!

I am reinventing this blog as a collaborative space for teachers to help AP US Gov students around the country. The goal is to create a resource that helps students deepen their understanding of the American government and its political system. I believe that if we can get instructors and students collaborating, we can produce some very powerful learning results!

Will you join me in this goal?

I am looking for new and experienced AP Gov teachers who would like to write posts and contribute to a wiki. You don't have to consider yourself a "Master Teacher" to post and there's certainly no obligation to write something daily or weekly - just post when you are able. And if you already have a blog, I'd love if you would cross-post your work here.

The wiki will be a website where we all post resources for each other and our students. Using Google Sites, we can create a great knowledge repository!

Beginning mid-January 2011, my students will be Tweeting current event stories and resources using the hashtag #APGOV. Of course, I hope we can get other students around the country to do the same - the goal is to get students to create a Personal Learning Network for AP Gov that is much larger than their textbook and teacher!

I hope that you will join in this effort. Please simply leave an email where I can contact you in the comments section below, or Tweet me @mikegwaltney.
