Edplum logo (Cezanne painting)edplum       ... coming soon

This website will be a place for educators to share their work with each other. The goal is to empower teachers to do their jobs better.

Unlike on most educational sites, teachers will be able to interact with the resources that are posted here. They will be able to organize, ask questions about, edit and improve upon other educators' work. It's a bit like "Wikipedia for teachers," but with a few key twists.

We're hoping to launch very soon. Sign up if you'd like to be notified when the site is ready (your information will be kept private and will not be used for any other purpose).

Keep It Simple

Busy teachers don't have time to write and share long lesson plans. That's why our site will focus on the sharing of plums (small nuggets of teaching material that can be mixed, matched and personalized).

Keep It Reliable

"Social networking" features will help the community decide which resources are trustworthy. You'll be able to make friends, join groups, and keep up to date on your colleagues' teaching.

Keep It Relevant

Don't wait for the resource you need to magically appear; just start a conversation and ask the community to post it! That way the website will grow in a way that matches what teachers actually use.

Keep It Growing

The community will be able to string "plums" together and collaboratively build up lessons, units and even entire curricula. Everything will be available under an open license.
