What a small world! Last month when my daughter Grace got chosen for the Raggs television show (post coming soon, I promise!) I started searching Twitter for other Raggs winners. I found Sophie. The mother of an adorable little girl who was one of the first Raggs winners to tape for the show. Needless to say, I read all the posts and we corresponded, then after Grace got back I learned that she was the founder and owner of Qlubb.com!

What is Qlubb? It’s a great way for groups to keep in touch with members. I heard about it a year ago and thought about starting a group, but since I was homeschooling and out of touch with most of the real world I never got anything organized. Then I started teaching creative writing to 2-5th graders and thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with my parents. I’ve already set up the pages for the classes and invited some moms (still trying to find emails of parents since I’m only an elective teacher.) I’m really excited about using Qlubb this way, but I can also see the benefits it could have been for when my kids were in the play. It would have been great to keep in touch with the moms during that time.

So what makes Qlubb different from other online groups like Facebook? Well, first of all you don’t have to join anything. There’s no membership. Someone creates a page like for sports, or school homeroom moms and then invites other moms to join. Everyone has the freedom to post on the page (depending upon the setting) and there’s a place to upload photos and documents which I found very helpful in posting my syllabus. But the best thing about it is it takes the responsibility off of me to try and send emails out to all the parents to keep them updated and puts it on them to come and check out the page when they want to know what’s going on!

It really is a great tool for keeping groups connected!
