The Sharing Learning Stories discussion group began in May of 2009 and, and is now on a temporary hiatus.   Check back, we hope to begin again in the Fall of 2013.

We have enjoyed sharing topics and discussions, and invite you to explore this web resource where you will find archives from our talks over the years.

It has been a great pleasure to be part of this community.
