Hey y'all! I'm Heather Morin, media specialist at a middle school in southern Georgia. Near Valdosta. I have the greatest job ever! In addition to inspiring the love of reading through great books, I get to inspire teachers who love to teach. I'm hoping that introducing them to web 2.0 will bring about a revolution in teaching. I am planning to introduce new ideas and concepts to my teacher with this school year's technology training which kicks off this Friday, September 25. :-)

HI. Am Kaviraj Goodoory from Mauritius, a little island found in the Indian Ocean. I have started making students realise the potential of using eportfolio and how they could use technology to bring life into it. Hope that I do get ideas from here and be able to share some of my experiences as well. I work with well trained teachers and at times with teachers having little formal education but huge teaching experience. So the work is challenging and interesting as well!

Hi, my name is Shannon and I am in the elementary ed program at William & Mary. One of my ed courses is a tech design class and we had to pick a forum such as Ning, Wiki, etc. to get involved in for the semester. I have chosen Ning to explore for my project. I hope to get involved in the community and get ideas for incorporating technology in the classroom. I look forward to exploring more on Classroom 2.0.

Hi there

I'm James Cross, a music teacher at High Storrs School, a big secondary in Sheffield, UK with a mixed urban intake. Interests are digital video, social media, and informal learning. I'm in my third year of teaching, and I'm starting to get really excited by trying out new stuff. Been using Tumblr, in conjunction with Vimeo (YouTube is blocked at school, grrr) a lot, for example: http://y11music.tumblr.com/

Can't wait to get involved with the community here, it's got me really excited!
