Today, June 5th, our tip of the day is our built-in "Share" feature - allowing you to easily email your friends about pages and resources on Teachers.Net, and bookmark and store them online. If you are a part of a social network like MySpace or Facebook, you can share any page on teachers.Net easily with all your friends on the network!
Teachers.Net is one of the most active Internet websites in education, and that notoriety has come exclusively through word of mouth. Teachers know they are the force behind Teachers.Net, and they can help others at the same time they help themselves, by helping spread the word about the great resources and content on Teachers.Net.
To help make it easy to do just that, we've installed a handy pop-up share "widget" that includes all the major share networks. Currently displayed directly below chatboard posts, look for the word "Share" and pass your mouse over it. You'll see a small control pop-up, with a selection of options for sharing that webpage.
The following social networking and bookmarking sites can now be utilized directly through the "Share" feature on Teachers.Net:
MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg, myAOL, and many many more...
In addition to these social networking and bookmarking sites, you can also email the link to that webpage, along with a brief note, directly through the share pop-up control. To email the link, pass your mouse over the "Share" link, and click on the word "Email."
Sharing links through social networks and storing your profiles online for easy access from any computer, are extremely popular trends these days. But more importantly, they also help communities like Internet teachers quickly spread word of important and helpful content. You can help teachers across your town, and around the world, by sharing the helpful content you find on Teachers.Net.
If you have any questions about the "Share" feature on Teachers.Net, or the technology in general, visit the Teachers.Net Tech Center and ask questions. Remember, Teachers.Net is YOUR community, by learning its features and potential, by fully participating, and by spreading the word, you can help improve the best tool online for teachers!
