Who we are
TeacherLingo.com is a teacher friendly, safe community dedicated to teachers. We know that teachers like to share ideas and experiences and that having a family of teachers in similar teaching situations can make it easier to get through the week. We want this to be a rewarding blog community where you can come to share and publish your thoughts and concerns about education. We also hope that you will participate in the community and offer your thoughts and comments to other members.
At TeacherLingo, we realize that administrators, teachers, students, and parents all work together. It is our priority to make sure that all content and members of our community are focused on education. It is important that you choose your own blogging name. You can feel free to join our community and remain anonymous. This gives you the freedom to express your true feelings about topics without getting in the hot seat at school.
Although we want our members to feel free to express their opinions and discuss topics that interest them, we will enforce our Terms of Use in order to provide a safe friendly community for all teachers.
Founders
Betty Miller
When Betty co-founded TeacherLingo.com back in December of 2006, she admits she was computer challenged at the time, so blogging was a big step for her. However she could see the possibilities that it created for connecting with other educators. She was amazed at how easy it was and how fulfilling it has been for her. She has been able to connect with hundreds of teachers and share her experiences both past and present related to teaching.
Betty recently retired from public education after teaching sixth grade in Texas for twenty years. She comes from a family of teachers, who often pass the time by sharing funny stories, concerns, and successful experiences about teaching. One of her favorite sayings is "Find something to laugh about every day." She believes in having as much fun as she possibly can.
