My name is Debra Giannone. I am the librarian at Long Island Lutheran Middle and High School. My administrators have decided that I should take a more active role in the technology at my school. When they first asked me I was a little nervous but now I that I have learned about some web 2.0 tools I think I will be OK.

Hi.
I've been a member of Classroom 2.0 since last summer but haven't made the time to visit too often.
Since things are a bit lighter for a while, I think that I'll spend some more time throwing in those 2cent pieces.

Hello! My name is Cathy! I am a second grade teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I learned about Classroom 2.0 after taking an online graduate course in E-Learning. I am a relative newbie to web 2.0 but look forward to exploring the possibilities with my students.

I love to colloborate with other elementary school teachers and look forward to learning and growing together in our experiences.

Welcome Cathy. I was a newbie less than 8 months ago. This is a great place to start out and learn what others are doing.

Hi My name is Kelly Graham and i am a principal in Northern CA and I was recently introduced to this by Steve. Thank you Steve! What a great resource! I am always looking for expertise on getting our school to impact our JHS students globally and I am finding much here to help our staff move forward.
I am also the National Director For the Center For Teacher Effectiveness and we are always looking for more presenters in the area of Classroom Management. This is for Educators only to do and is a way to put your expertise to use, train teachers, and yes make some extra dollars for yourself while still teaching. If you are interested in knowing more please don't hesitate to contact me here. You may also visit me on the web at www.kgtimetoteach.com In the meantime if anyone has experience in moving their staff forward in creating an environment that emphasizes Global Lesson design I would love to hear about it!
Thanks. Kelly
