Bonjour, everyone! I'm a French teacher at a public college preparatory high school for gifted students in Tucson, Arizona. I'm looking forward to the day when my kids will use handhelds and the like to teach themselves the structures of the language, and we can spend our class time using the language to communicate (or make podcasts!)

Drop me a line! Especially if you're a secondary language teacher!

Carolyn Blue, from Detroit (MI). I've spent the past five years running a computer clubhouse at the Northwest Activities Center in Detroit. We are 1 or over 100 clubhouses located throughout the world (www.computerclubhouse.org). In 1999 Intel announced its support to build 100 clubhouses worldwide. I am proud to be part of the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network. I serve to assist youth, ages of 8 - 18, in exploring their own ideas and developing skills and confidence through the use of technology. It is a great program that requires constant learning. I'm looking forward to how Classroom 2.0 can enhance what I and my colleagues do.

Hello my name is Linda and I teach History in WI, over the summer I had a small taste of what web 2.0 tools are able to do, I loved it! I am attempting to try a collaborative platform myself and am a little nervous. so I look forward to the v-room programs that are available because I then have more evidence and concrete examples of how these things can work in my setting.

Hi!

I'm Carol Neuman and I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm the Community Manager at the SMART Exchange.

I didn't join Classroom 2.0 to spam you, re-direct you to SMART websites or bash the competition. I joined Classroom 2.0 because it's a place for conversations that matter about technology in the classroom. I want to be a part of these conversations - by listening, by learning, and by sharing.

Hi, Carol!

Though I'm not an official welcoming party, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance here, where we all can endeavour to listen, learn, and share. I'm looking forward to exploring the the community you manage soon, too. That is, beyond a few clicks in already.

Cheers, Paul
