Recent Changes

Welcome Elementary Language Arts Adoption Committee members and special guests!Welcome!
I have created this wikispace so that we may continue our conversations and collaborative effort as we continue through our adoption process.
Wikispaces allow members to fully edit the pages within the wiki environment. Therefore, the site is truly collaborative in nature where no one person controls the content of the site, but the group collectively controls and manages it. This makes a dynamic environment where members may edit, revise, supplement, and supplant text and graphics. What results is the product of many great minds at work.
