Use the online TES Journal to record your ideas, insights, reflections and thoughts. Your journal entry can be saved privately or shared within a TES community. If you have been enrolled in a TES community, you will have the option to share your journal with your community and to solicit feedback. The option to keep a journal entry private is always available.

When sharing a journal entry, you will have the opportunity to indicate

• if feedback is requested or not
• what kind of feedback would be helpful

Online journal writing hints:

• if you are logged onto the TES site, use the online journal tool to jot down notes about questions and thoughts at anytime and return later to expand on your ideas
• if you are offline, keep a notebook handy to record ideas, thoughts and questions that you might want to express in your online journal
• if you intend to share a journal entry, it may be helpful to include the specific questions or ideas you are responding to
• initially, if you are used to writing a journal on paper or in a word processor but not online, you may be more productive if you continue to write in the notebook and/or use your word processor and then transcribe your entry to the online journal
