Hello, my name is Katie. I'm currently a student in Michigan, but searching and researching jobs out of state. As of now, I think that is what interests me the most about this site...learning about other states/regions and seeing if those look attractive to me.

I'm leaning HEAVILY towards Colorado...and CO teachers out there??

Hi,

Ant Heald checking in. I have taught English (and latterly Film Studies) since 1992 in Doncaster, England. My experience of using technology in my teaching is a long one, characterised by a series of new starts, aborted projects and false dawns.

Social networking is gradually giving me the confidence and contacts to feel that I can work towards making my practice begin to converge towards my intentions and ideals.

Definitely maybe.

Hello, Linnell Gribble out of Oak Harbor Washington. I'm teaching technology, health, and reading this year, but anticipate with the budget cuts to be placed in Language Arts next year. I hope to learn more about ways to get kids to use technology even when access is limited. Especially in the field of assessment. So, any collaboration is welcome!

Hi everyone, Neil Allison here from Washington, DC.

I'm helping an independent school to think about ways that its faculty can collaborate and share with other faculty at similar schools.

Do you guys have any good examples of:

1. How teachers are using education networking for professional development?
2. How independent / private schools are using education networking?

I really appreciate it!

Hello,
My name is Jody Watson and I am a technology preacher (I guess is the best way to put it) at my school and in my division, located in Alberta, Canada. I am really interested in trying to get collaboration projects with teachers in all grades from k-12. Just want to show the people out there (my school division) how valuable and how much students can learn from these sorts of opportunity. Anyone interested in any project let me know would love to get involved.

Hopefully getting off my island (PLN of one).
