Hi Najwa. Nice to hear from you. Are you from Turkish generation? Because the surname Chalabi belongs to Turkish. I think your work is very hard. It is interesting for me to learn your idea about using technology in English lesson or in any lessons. ( Are you an English teacher?)

Hi Everyone!

I'm Angus Chan, a Technical Product Manager from Desire2Learn, working out of our Kitchener, Ontario, Canada office. I focus mainly on Integration and Middleware (i.e. work with partners to determine how we can incorporate their tools and technologies into our LMS), however I have strong interests in Privacy and Social Media in Education.

If you have any ideas or thoughts to how we can improve our products to meet your needs, please send them my way and I'll forward them to the proper teams for consideration in future product updates.

Hello, my name is Ibby Rios; I am a middle school Spanish and social studies teacher in Crofton, MD. I've been teaching for about 12 years and in the last couple of years have been more intentional about tech integration in my classroom. I have found this professional learning community very useful and helpful - from the webinars, to the resources shared and discussion presented in the forums.

I have created a group in the community called Passport to the World for social studies. If this is your content area, check it out; it should be a meaningful forum for sharing ideas and resources.
