We are adopting the Everyday Math program. The administration in our district has stressed the importance of communication amongst the staff members using this program.
I will be taking a course that requires field hours and was thinking about designing somekind of social network for the district.
I was just wondering if you could drop me a few ideas as to what format I should use.
Basic website? Wiki? Blog?

Not sure of the best tool to do it, but I think something where people can share their experience and then access them indexed both by the nature of the experience and the related lesson. That way, you start building a research bank of issues and support for the curriculum.
Oh, and a "help me now" feature would probably be useful as well. I had a few times like that where if I hadn't been able to run down the hall to our chemistry teacher with thirty-ish years experience across all the science disciplines, I would probably have just sat down on the floor at the front of the room for the day. So, something to aid those days.
I think the method depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to present information in a static way, a Web site is the way to go. If you want to keep documenting changes, updates, ideas, etc., in a regular fashion, I would do a blog. If you want other teachers to collaborate, then I would go with a wiki. Each has their strengths, depending on how you want to present the information.
