Hi Jill. I grew up in Loves Park/Machesney Park. It has been years since then. I moved to South Carolina in 1983 and now hail from rural SW Arkansas. I remember how I dreaded those northern winters; Now I dread the southern summers. LOL.

Hey there. I'm Rick and I'm from northern New Hampshire. I teach eighth grade science by day and computers and web design by night. The past few months have seen my beginnings in 2.0, with a class wiki and an online conference. I am here to learn (the class wiki is coming in about web 1.75), and hopefully help build.

Ok, now to start blogging...

Hi, I'm Chris Champion. I'm from the Harrisburg, PA USA area, and I'm a computer teacher in a technical high school. I'm also the district Technology Committee Chair (we don't have a tech coordinator - we do everything by committee!!). I hope to eliminate many of my textbooks and use Web 2.0 resources as well as some 1.0 resources to teach computer networking and administration.

Hi,

I'm an EFL/ESL teacher in Thessaloniki, Greece. I prepare students at all levels. I've been using blogs with my students as a way of opening up the classroom. I also use video and music in order to liven up classes.

Hi,
I'm Elizabeth Davis and I am a technology integration specialist for a K-8 public school in Brookline, MA USA. I am excited and committed to classroom 2.0 and am working hard to bring my teachers on board. I have started a book review podcasting project where students and teachers talk about books. So far 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th grade students and teachers have written, recorded and posted book reviews to our Website: http://www.runkle.org/Podcasts/index.html. I am also interested in posting book review podcasts submitted from students and teachers around the world. I have included resources that teachers can use to help them get started - templates, directions etc. I'm excited to try out this space. Thanks.

Great stuff. I listened to the review of Run Boy Run. :) Are you willing to contribute a short description of this on the www.Classroom20.net wiki?

Hello!
I was looking for a social network for teachers about five months ago, and I am delighted that one now exists. I am a technology teacher in Minnesota, USA. My current tech specialty is Moodle.

Hi, I teach several online classes for teachers and am always interested in how new technologies can be used effectively. I am looking for a place to discuss these important topics.
