Hey everyone,
Glad to join the group... it's excellent to find such a strong community of tech educators online. We're educators who are founding the Public Learning Media Labs, a nonprofit dedicated to producing free educational and social-serving web-based software.
The first our of apps, http://www.boolify.org, is out & about to undergo some updates; others, including data application, history app, and environmental app are all in the works, and due out soon.
Of course, we'll let y'all know when we're releasing something new for beta or public use!
Cheers and glad to be aboard,
--Dave

Hi, Larry here. I'm the IT Director at Culver Academies with partial oversight of the Educational Technology department. I'm fairly new to the educational world (20 years in corporate America) so I joined this group to learn from those who have educational experience/background when it comes to technology in the school. Thanks...

Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll learn a lot hanging around here. This won't come as a surprise but education tech is a lot different than business world! Enjoy, n.

I am a veteran teacher of 24 years and this year I am a Reading Coach for an alternative middle/high school in FL. I have a Special Education background and have spent 12 years at the elementary level and 12 years in the middle grades. Just this year, I have begun to teach a class of Intensive Reading (10th-12th grades) which is fun for me. Working directly with students helps me to enjoy that teacher student relationship that I've missed being out of the classroom.I enjoy technology and try to use it to engage my students. Our school (as many) does not have an endless supply of funding and is limited on the technology available. Specifically, we are limited on personnel who are looking to ichat, blog, create imovies, use digital story telling...etc. I am trying to get my students reading for pleasure and understand some of the reading strategies needed for reading success. I can easily match girls with texts...the boys at my school are much more challenging for me. I welcome ideas and suggestions!

Coach, I teach gifted K-6 and many of my kids are voracious readers (3-5 years above age mates) I'm always looking for high level books for 6th graders with appropriate content. Two science fiction books recently recommended to me are The Hunger Games, The BarCode Tattoo (and sequel). We also read Airborn by Kenneth Oppel --(steampunk genre, series of three books, very well written, great vocab) pirates, airships and love. Let me know if you need more suggestions, I've got several hundred great books in my class library. N.
PS Hate to say it but if you could convince the guys---they would love the Twight Series by Stephene Meyers

Ashley, you might look into this online video seminar starting this week: http://evovideo09.wikispaces.com/
It is sure to have some good ideas for using video in the classroom. It is focused on ESL/EFL language teaching, but I'm fairly certain the underlying principles of using video would apply to any age and subject.

My name is Charles Ford and I am from New Jersey. I work as a principal in a K-4 building with 375 students. I am currently writing my dissertation on blogging in the classroom to increase students writing rubric scores. I joined this web site in order to collaborate with others and learn more best practices with web 2.0 tools. I like to take these ideas and pass them on to my teachers and students.
