Step Two: Join the E-Anthology 2.0 Community
Now that you have joined NWP Connect and nwp.org simultaneously, you are ready to join the E-Anthology 2.0 Community on NWP Connect. NWP Connect has many thriving communities within it. There is a book discussion group, a teacher inquiry group, even a Literacy and the Common Core Group. Think of them like meeting rooms within one building. Different people join different meetings based on their interests, but everyone is housed in the same building and the same person can go to many different meetings. Today, you are going to Join the E-Anthology 2.0 Community. The purpose of the E-Anthology Community is to give teacher writers a public place to share and discuss their writings and to support each other in that endeavor. Teacher consultants and fellows of summer institutes have been using the E-Anthology in this way for many years. This year, with national funding cut, the E-Anthology is a little different, but its new format also allows for some new features as well. To join the community, (or any other community) follow the steps below.


 * 1) From your home page, which appeared after you registered, click on "Our Community" in the left hand menu.[[image:eanthology/community 1.jpg width="613" height="277"]]
