= Speaking of Speech ﻿ ﻿  = __**What is it?** __

Speaking of Speech is a website that allows for teachers to collaborate and share their ideas, lesson plans, and information of different teaching related programs. Being a future teacher, I have learned the importance of collaboration with other teachers, parents, and staff. Here is a site that allows everyone to share their ideas without having to call, email, or skype one another. We have amazing teachers all over the world, this site makes it possible for everyone to share their ideas regardless of where they live and teach. This site was specifically designed for Speech and Language Pathologists, Special Ed teachers, and teachers to be able to communicate their ideas. What a great way to collaborate and become one big team!

 * i dont know what you do already, but these are easy and can be done in any environment and you only need the materials present in that environment.

__**What do you think?**__

Please share with me your ideas on this website and if you feel it would be useful as a collaborative tool for teachers.

This seems like a great tool! As a future special education teacher, I think it would be very helpful to use this type of collaborative tool. It is nice to bounce ideas off of other teachers and hear about what works in other schools. Thanks for sharing this! Molly Loftis
