About Me: I am a 42-years young mother of two-sons, ages 25 and 18. I am currently attending UNCC completing a Masters of Art in Teaching (Elementary-education). I love children and all of the innocent-joy that they bring to life; which is one of the most profound reasons in my becoming an educator. I will complete my licensing/certification requirements in December of 2009, and hope to be teaching in the classroom by January of 2010.

Classroom 2.0 peeked my interest after I completed an assignment in my teaching-social studies class and completeing a TK20 E-porfolio requiremnt at UNCC. In joining Classroom 2.0, my hope to gain valuable insight into the technology-world by sharing ideas and concerns with other education professionals, as well as to learn how to integrate technology in my lesson-planning.

Kindest Regards,
Ms. Ginger A. Coburn
