=English Teachers Network Australia=

The English Teachers Network Australia (ETNA) is a loosely-formed, grassroots network of English teachers, scholars, and other workers or retirees from the profession.

In much the same way that an individual might develop a 'Personal Learning Network', this wiki aims to bring those individuals together in a designated 'Community Learning Network' (CLN).

//English teachers join this network in order to://
 * 1) make a profile page for themselves here on the wiki to increase their accessibility to potential connections
 * 2) scope out the names and faces of other English teachers and educators around Australia that are connecting through this 'CLN'
 * 3) build and/or store content to share with like-minded souls
 * 4) develop curriculum awareness and share strategies at the 'grassroots' level.

Instructions:

 * If you have found this wiki and want to join the network, feel free to get in contact or make yourself a page
 * More likely someone invited you to this wiki. Kelli invited: Bianca, Troy, David, Sophie and Imelda :)
 * For a personal profile page, please use YOUR NAME as the PAGE NAME (that way this can be little like a directory too)
 * If you are inviting someone, why not make them feel extra welcome by building their page for them?

**Where possible it is recommended that you share resources with each other using [|Creative Commons licencing].**
//This wiki was created by kelli mcgraw, who made it because she thinks://
 * There are so many people working in English curriculum out there, it's hard to keep track!
 * And yet...the number of us must be finite...
 * Networks develop easily inside institutions, but it can be hard to find people beyond your immediate circle
 * Many academics get too busy to talk to each other
 * Many teachers get too busy to find folks from other schools
 * There are a lot of great networks growing out there, and I want one for ENGLISH!


 * NB:** With confidence that English teachers can be trusted to moderate their own Personal Learning Environments, we are reminded to always conduct ourselves professionally online, and to treat each other with respect and courtesy. Many of us may arrive here with radical views, but we //all// play nice in the network! If you do want to argue, go and do it on your blog/twitter ;)
