---------------------------------

Today’s tip is our community web magazine, the Teachers.Net Gazette. The Gazette provides our teachers a venue to publish contributions of every variety.

Published on the first day of every month, the Gazette has been showcasing the works of teachers for over ten years. Every issue is packed with teacher submissions, from articles exploring technical issues like professional development and teaching theory, to helpful ideas and templates for lesson planning and classroom printables, to strategies for everyday classroom management and common teaching problems. There’s also a healthy dose of creative writing and humor. In short, there’s something for everyone!

The Gazette proudly features an exclusive monthly column by the best-selling authors in education - First Days of School authors Harry & Rosemary Wong. Their column, Effective Teaching, is packed with field-tested tips for classroom management for teachers of all experience levels. Be sure to check their archives, for a goldmine of great articles that heve been helping teachers excel, for over ten years.

Anyone can submit to the Teachers.Net Gazette.  We publish everything from peer-reviewed education studies to anecdotes of life in the classroom.  If you'd like to contribute, click this link for complete details:

New Feature - Share
We've recently added two new features to the Gazette we're excited about - share, and discussion.  If you'd like to share any article, issue, or the Gazette in general with your social network, take advantage of our new "Share" pop-up button located at the top of every page.  Now with just a click of the mouse, you can share to Digg, Del.icio.us, Facebook - you can even easily email an alert to anyone you want through the pop-up form.

New Feature - Discussions
At the bottom of every article, you can add your comments about the article through the discussion module.  Any constructive feedback is welcome, or join in the conversation that is already in progress.  Your input is the key to everything on Teachers.Net, and you are always encouraged to contribute your perspective.

We hope you enjoy this month's Gazette, it marks the 79th issue we've published.  If you run across Kathleen Carpenter on Teachers.Net, feel free to tell her you enjoyed her work - she's invested untold hours editing your articles and stories since the start of the Gazette.

I hope to see your work published in a future Teachers.Net Gazette - please tell a friend!
