I am Bob Esty, and I teach Humanities, a mixture of English and US History, at the Barrie School, a small private school in Maryland near Washington DC. I've been teaching for nearly 14 years, but I'm a relative newbie to the Web 2.0 world. I am looking forward to learning more about 2.0 applications. I am also interested in neat teaching tips and sites for my subject areas. Thanks!

Hi all! My name is Shanda FitzHenry and I am currently a student on the path to my teaching degree. I am in the middle of a long and hard research project in hopes of gathering any and all information I can get my hands on about "digital classrooms". Not only will this project determine my grade and ultimately my future but I chose the topic for my own personal gain. I wish to know all I can to determine my own teaching style once in my own classroom. Any good sources I should check out? All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Hello everyone. I'm Anna Kagedal, from Sweden, but working in an International School in Tamil Nadu, South India. I'm a teaching librarian (but one with a library degree, not a teaching one). I am trying to keep current with 2.0, mostly Library 2.0, but I am also trying to promote use of 2.0 in the classroom to our techers here - hence my joining this ning.
