Princeton, NJ, June 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Eden Autism Services, a nationally acclaimed organization specializing in educating children and adults with autism as well as providing workshops and training for families and educators has recently launched two online learning communities specifically designed for teachers through edWeb.net, a professional social network for the education community.
In today’s electronic environment more and more teachers are turning to social media to connect with each other, share information and resources, and for mutual support. Eden realized that social networking is a great way to expand its outreach services across the country and that partnering with edWeb.net was the perfect vehicle to make this happen.
“With the impact of social media today, we feel that it is vital for Eden be a part of this movement,” says Anne Holmes, Chief Clinical Officer of Eden Autism Services. “edWeb allows us the opportunity to reach educators all across the country and all over the world.”
Eden has launched two online communities entitled “Effective Teaching Strategies for Students with Autism” for grades preK-5 and for grades 6-12 which can be accessed through www.edweb.net/eden1 and www.edweb.net/eden2 respectively. In addition, through edWeb.net Eden has designed a program that includes posting lesson plans for teachers, facilitating online discussions, and presenting a series of free monthly webinars that also provide continuing education credits.
“It’s gratifying to be able to provide this opportunity for Eden to share its more than 35 years of experience in the field of autism with such a large community,” says Lisa Schmucki, founder and CEO of edWeb.net.
Currently, more than 2,200 members have joined Eden’s online community. When teachers join the online community they have an opportunity to introduce themselves to other members. All members of the community can post questions, start discussions on topics to get feedback from the educational experts at Eden, and also from their peers who are dealing with similar issues. It is especially helpful for those who are the only educator in their school or those who are new to the profession.
“In addition to the evaluation, consultation, training services and the 5-volume School Series Curriculum that Eden offers, we are thrilled to add yet another way to reach the autism community,” said Holmes.
