ELL Connect welcomed its 155th member on April 25. We are very proud of this milestone and grateful to all of you who have joined our online community.

All of this has happened in less than six months, thanks to the hard work of the ELL Connect Team, composed of Community Manager Katie McKay, of the Heart of Texas Writing Project. A stellar group of teachers of ELs has volunteered to be our regular bloggers (although everyone is welcome to blog!): Robert Rivera Amezola, of the Philadelphia Writing Project; Cecilia Pattee, of Boise State Writing Project; Janna McClain, of the Middle Tennessee Writing project; Yumi Matsui, from the Bay Area Writing Project; Antonio Tijerina, from the Pearl of the Concho Writing Project, and Ruth Devlin, from the Southern Nevada Writing project. And recently, Dolores Perez, Ann David, and Ed Koch have volunteered to respond to questions from members through our Questions and Answers feature.

We are all very excited with the possibilities of this public space, and welcome all of your ideas and suggestions.
