The November Learning Team would like to take a moment to thank all of you who have provided us with feedback regarding our new website at http://www.novemberlearning.com. We have taken this feedback very seriously and have made a few minor changes to our site in response. For example, each section now has a menu on the right side that corresponds with that section’s dropdown menu located at the top. Additionally, we have provided pdf files that correspond with each article and handout so that you can easily download and use them at your school. Another change we have made is in the use of our RSS feeds.

Currently we have three RSS feeds available for subscription: the website, the podcast and Alan’s blog feed. We want to ensure each has its own purpose and information is not duplicated. Our feeds will be organized as follows:

November Learning News
November Learning News is a one stop shop for keeping up with the latest NL has to offer. Subscribe here for newly published resources, podcasts, stories from the field and much more.

Alan November's Weblog
Alan's blog taps directly into conversations he is having with audiences worldwide. Used primarily as a tool for questions and discussions that arise during his presentations, the range and thoughtfulness of the responses on this blog can be insightful.

November Learning Podcast Series
Subscribe here for interviews, presentations from the Building Learning Communities Conference and much more. Our podcast series features discussion about teaching and learning, education technology and leadership with the best of the best.

All of these feeds can be subscribed to from our website.

You will also notice that on the news page, we have added a commenting feature just like the one on Alan’s blog. While we have been putting this new feature in place, you may have noticed some duplicate news posts. We apologize for that and appreciate your understanding.

Stay tuned to the November Learning News feed, as we have plans in the works to get you involved in some community building opportunities very soon.
