Hello, all, Curt Lieneck, IT Director for the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, a large independent school on campus here at U of C. I'm a long time elementary teacher who's led our IT efforts here since '98. John Dewey, our school's founder, would have been excited by the opportunities for building the kind of learning communities (like this Ning) that Web 2.0 tools enable. Our challenge here is to honor our progressive legacy even as we extend its principles to a kind of learning we could scarcely imagine just a few short years ago. What an exciting time to be in education!

Hello 2.0 Teachers. I'm Heather Dowd from Illinois. I am a former high school physics/math teacher, but I am currently going to graduate school full time and working part time as an instructional designer for a community college. (I miss teaching though!!) I returned home to the US last summer after spending three years teaching in Mexico. I'm excited about all the web 2.0 tools that I failed to notice while living in Mexico. It's an exciting time to be in education.

Hi, I'm Cecilie Murray in Melbourne Australia, and I'm interested in seeing how educators use Classroom 2.0. Among other things, I research emerging technologies and social networking sites for learning. This year I'm researching iPod Touch in primary schools, and a mobile learning project across 4 countries. Be great to have a look around!

Hi, Celilie! Thanks so much for joining in on the Classroom 2.0 site. I wish we had a way to link people by geographical location, but hope you find some good connections here!

Hi, I'm Kathy Senior - I love to work with web 2.0 tools in anyway to engage people's learning.
I use the tools in English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching to adult migrant groups and i also use them to engage young Indigenous minds here in the middle of the desert in Australia.
Thanks
Kathy
