Simple K12 Teacher Learning Community

At FETC 2011 I attended a session on Professional Development conducted by Lisa Greathouse from Simple K12.  At that session, we learned about the Simple K12 Teacher Learning Community (TLC).  In the past 2 years, the TLC has come a long way.  Initially it was a paid subscription, but attendees of Lisa's session received a special code to give us a free year.  I remember letting the code sit for a month thinking this is just something else that costs money and I'll never be able to afford on my own.  Being naturally curious, I could no longer resist the temptation to enter the code and the rest is history.

Quickly I fell in love with TLC.   From the varied webinars they offered to the rich teacher-created resources to the ability to connect with other educators, there was quite a bit of information to absorb.  TLC made my job easier and made me look like a genius in my district.

I've used the TLC so much in the past 2 years that I was selected as a Power User (my testimonial should be available on TLC soon), I'm now a Simple K12 TLC Ambassador, and, at the KySTE Conference in March, I'll be a Simple K12 TLC Event Ambassador.

In the past few months, the Teacher Learning Community has gone from a paid only subscription to a free subscription with a paid upgrade.  Webinars, whether live or on-demand, resources, and colleague connections are still available.

The most powerful part of the Teacher Learning Community is that the webinars and resources are teacher generated.  They are shared resources, and by sharing your resources in the TLC, you can earn your way to a paid membership upgrade.

This is not a sales pitch.  I don't work for Simple K12 (yet), nor do I receive any type of compensation from them.  This is just an honest pitch from a hard-working Technology Integration Specialist that has found a gem of a resource that is now free to everyone.
