Hello! I'm a brand new volunteer 3rd grade math teacher. I work at a school for gifted and talented kidlets and am also the receptionist. My name is Heather Black and I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. My school is Todd Academy, Inc. My goal is to guide the children through their education by encouraging and challenging...and building a love for a subject that many either did or still despise of.
I'm here to pick fellow teachers' brains and learn from their adventures in teaching. This is my first year and so far it has been full of fun!

When I was in university I always wanted to be a history teacher. When I graduated in 1973 they were closing teachers' colleges in Ontario and I never got back to teaching the subject that was nearest and dearest to me. But I have remained interested in education throughout my business life and more recently have become an advocate for the use of computer technology to empower young people to achieve academic success. I have immersed myself in understanding the impact of social media on digital natives, immigrants and Luddites. In my work I have had the opportunity to talk to students from K-12 about not only how but why they use technology. I write a number of blogs and am a guest columnist and advisor to online publications. My writing focuses on the impact of technology in the 21st century on business, on broader society and on education. You can find me on CMSWire, KiwiCommons, http://lenrosenmarketing.blogspot.com, and http://lenrosen4.wordpress.com.
My passion for history remains unabated and covers a wide range of subjects including: History of Science and Technology, History of Islam and the Islamic World, Jewish History, American Revolution, American Civil War, 20th century world history, History of China, South Asia, India and Africa. I read and study in all of these subject areas. There's never a dull moment.

Hi I'm Bambi I teach in Arizona. I love technology in the classroom and have been looking to find information on setting up a video conference with another teacher from another school. I tend to think up these big ideas and explore areas way over my head! I guess you could say I'm adventurous and outgoing and want to open as many doors as I can to teach kids. During my research I found Classroom 2.0 and I'm excited to join.

Bambi, Are you familiar with Skype? It is a free voice and video network that allows you to use web cams to do video conferencing. Many schools are using it. You need to have access to the Internet through your classroom computer connection and your computer needs to have a web cam. I'm sure that many of the members of Classroom 2.0 have web cam capability in their classrooms. If not web cams can be had for as little as $10.
Google also has free tools available for this type of web video conferencing if you have a Gmail account. Gmail is free.
If you have Microsoft Live account (also free) you can do video conferencing between school classrooms.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone. I'm Anjali from Ras al Khaimah, UAE. I teach ESL.
I started using web 2.0 tools during this academic year...This concept of pedagogy and technology is new to me and am always concerned about striking the right balance. I understand web2.0 is the future of education and was looking for a platform to learn, discuss, and to find other teachers who are experimenting with web 2.o tools. I got to know about classroom 2.0 from a friend.... I'm looking forward to collaborating with other teachers, learning and sharing knowledge.
