Hi, I am a technology specialist from an elementary school in Alabama. I hope to introduce Skype to our students. I am just learning to use it myself and would appreciate any suggestions for classroom use (where to find contacts, etc). Thanks so much.

Belinda

Hi, everyone. I'm Tricia and have been teaching at the college level for about 8years... after 12 years at elementary school and 2 years of High School. I LOVE online teaching. I love exploring the wealth of sites available to use with students and I find it easier to link them up in an online class than a face to face class. I live in the foothills of the Sierras. We used to live near Lake Tahoe and still love skiing but are happy now to live a little down the hill so we don't have to shovel. I'm looking for other online instructors who are exploring innovative ways to reach their students online and keep them excited about learning. This site looks great and I hope I'll be able to connect with some new friends.

Hi! I'm Susan Rice, a library media specialist in Pryor, OK, at a 9-12 high school. I'm intensely interested in leveraging technology so that students, teachers, and our community can increase student learning. I want it to be a stepping stone, not a stumbling block! I just this semester helped students create their first podcast, and am interested in using wikis with students.

My name is Virginia Sandell, and I'm the Drama teacher for St. Anthony Jr. Sr. High School in Wailuku, Maui. Would love to hear from other Drama teachers about what shows they do, their class ciriculum, and some of their favorite shows. I would love to share shows about Hawaii and Maui.

Hi Heather,

Welcome to CR 2.0. I found a really interesting link for science learning yesterday at a blog called Instructify. Here's the link: http://www.sciencecourseware.com/vcise/drosophila/Drosophila.php?gu...
Let me know what you think of this site.
