TPS Connect is an online community built for collaboration and sustained interaction among advocates of Teaching with Primary Sources.  TPS connect allows members to create unique groups (among your school, district, friends, or discipline), invite friends and colleagues (or create new ones), send private messages and comment on walls, share photos and access the growing database of Annotated Resource Sets.  The community will continue to evolve through the incorporation of third-party applications.  New social networking and media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and many more in the future, will allow TPS connect users to seamlessly integrate their favorite means of staying connected.
