Hi!
I teach psychology and intro to undergraduate studies at a branch campus of UNM, and I began teaching online using WebCT last year. What's been amazing about the foray into teaching online is how much it has made me think about ways of learning and teaching in general. I worked in industry in human factors, software development, test, and project management for 22 years before returning to teaching. I'm involved with developing the nascent eLearning program on our campus and have been exploring Web 2.0 tools and their applications for teaching for the past several months. Many of our students may be "Digital Natives," but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are computer literate. Thus, one challenge is how to incorporate technologies meaningfully without taking too much time away from course content to teach students how to use them.

My name is Janet Toto and I'm a third grade special educator in Westchester County, NY. This is a grade level change (I taught four grade for several years, and fifth grade before that) and I'm nervous about the change. However, I joined Classroom 2.0 for a PBS course I took last year, but never really participated in the process within these pages and links. Now I'm enrolled in their Capstone Program and I have returned! I'm hoping to discover new information about how I can effectively use technology in my practice. I jumped at the chance to join the beginner's group!

Hi Keren. It's good to find someone else on Classroom who is involved with mentoring and non-school learning programs. I maintain a web library with tutor/mentor information that anyone can draw from. I encourage you to browse it, and add your site. In one section we've been adding links to LA programs, so I hope you'll post your link there.
You'll see that the library is just the first step in a strategy aimed at helping more volunteer-based programs reach more kids in high poverty areas, and stay connected with those kids for longer periods of time.
I hope we can connect on Classroom, and elsewhere, and that this builds greater involvement in what we're each doing to help kids.

Hi! Diana. It was lovely to hear from you. Am a college teacher and sometimes I use a Power-Point presentation for my college teaching. However, the first-year students find that difficult but the teacher-trainees seem to enjoy it very much. . I am hearing of a podcast for the first time . Can you explain what is it and if it would help me in my teaching? Thanks.Can you also explain the full form of AEP SS? Here, the designations are different.Hoping to hear from you soon. Bye. Neeta
