Hi,
I am a first grade teacher in Virginia. I am interested in technology and having my students comfortable using technology in the classroom. We have multiple computers in our classroom, a smartboard, trips to the computer lab each week, access to a bank of laptops for whole group exploration, a class web page, a class blog, and a wiki. My students enjoy posting daily on the blog and are learning to use the wiki for accessing information at home (reducing paper usage) and for educational purposes.
I want to learn more about 2.0 and how I can make more meaningful experiences for my first graders.

Greetings-
My name is Scott Tiedens and I am a high school teacher in Shakopee, MN. Shakopee is an outer ring suburb of Minneapolis and we are in our second year in a state of the art high school building. I am also a graduate student in Educational Technology at Minnesota State University Mankato.

I teach health related classes and I hope to enhance the learning of my students through the appropriate use of technology.

Sincerely,

Hi Scott,

Your health related class students might get a benefit out of using the body charts in eNoteFile - notetaking and filing.

They can also upload or custom design their own templates.

My name is Ryan Evans and I'm a technology teacher in a K - 8 school in Northern, NJ. I'm in my twelfth year of teaching, 6 of which have been in technology. I'm an advocate for integrating current technology into all subject areas in the classroom, especially in utilizing the current technology trends. I firmly believe that students who utilize the tools of the world will be better prepared to compete globally.

I've had a long interest in Web 2.0 tools and have done extensive research in the area. I, however, have not had the opportunity to adequately keep up with various components because of my recent graduate work and other commitments. However, since completing my most latest graduate program, I now have some time to devote to Web 2.0 training and development. I hope by joining Classroom 2.0 to become an effective leader in the area.
