Hi Jacinta. I am very interested in your cause. I'm in the field of special education in Maine, USA. I am currently trying to use some of this technology to facilitate communication between my self and the special educators with whom I work. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure my district firewalls blogs, so I'm on a mission to overcome that obstacle. I'll let you know how it goes! Erin

Hello from New York City!

My students have been suing a number of Web2.0 tools in their classes; Google Docs, Del.icio.us, Flickr, an Elgg and few others in my social studies and digital photography classes.

I recently became a Google Certifiate Teacher.

I'm looking forward to learning about what's going on around the country and the world in tech integration, especially as it relates to Web2.0 for the younger kids.

Hi, Pat Horner. Originally from Ireland, but now live and work in the United Kingdom. I'm a senior teacher at a medium sized comprehensive school (11-18) and am a humanities specialist 'by trade'. I'm interested how ICT can be used to facilitate learning and how pupils can use ICT to demonstrate their learning. Recently I became intrigued by the idea of flattening classrooms and blogging. That was the thin end of the wedge, every web2.0 tool I'm introduced to (usually by communities like this, or by reading the ebublogosphere) suggests a widening gyre of applications for teaching and learning.

Hi,
I joined this network some days ago, but I haven't introduced myself yet. I am not teaching, I am a library consultant to children's, young adult's and school librarians. I joined this network because I am interested to know how you can use webb 2.0 in both libraries and classes.
I am from Sweden and my English is not perfect, but I hope you will understand what I am meaning if I will participate in any discussion or ask you something!
