The new Social Sciences PLC

What's a PLC?  It's a Professional Learning Community. 
It's a place to communicate your needs, share your experience, and keep up with what is http://www.learnquebec.ca/export/sites/learn/en/content/curriculum/social_sciences/images/network.gif going on in the Social Sciences in Quebec.

Joining the SS-PLC means you will have access to various resources shared by teachers, student-teachers, board consultants and of course the LEARN teams.  It will allow you to access a sheltered area, where educators can experiment, and send feedback, and even work on new documents together.
