Hi-

I am a high school science teacher who has been working for almost 20 years. I am a passionate teacher. I believe that my interpersonal relationship with students, helps them to improve their achievement. I view Web 2.0 resources as a way to individualize a student's educational experience. I am an avid curator of a tech ed curation collection http://www.scoop.it/t/educational-technology-for-teachers and also curate a collection on humanistic education .http://www.scoop.it/t/the-reflective-educator. I am preparing to teach a Web 2.0 based course for students that tend to be less engaged in traditional classrooms. I am hoping to use the tools to help them to explore what they do want to learn about. I am excited to find a PLN of like minded colleagues.

Donna

Hi, I am a K-8 technology teacher who does all the IT support as well. I am trying to build a good curriculum so that the students learn web 2.0 tools and can incorporate them into the classroom.

I live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Katie Lyon. I am a teacher and Vice Principal in West L.A. I have been teaching for over seven years now primarily in 5th grade. I had one year in which I taught 4th. :-) I simply love sharing with other teachers and have built several sites in order to do that (and no - I don't charge $ haha). Please feel free to check them out and become a follower or perhaps share with someone who might be interested. Right now, my goal is to create a more online presence within the education field.

I feel that in order to best teach my students, I need to stay on top of the latest and greatest. As of right now, my class recently received a Mobi and class set of clickers. I'm hoping to become proficient at using it to enhance the classroom experience. If anyone has ever used one, I would love to talk to you.

Thank you,

Katie

Hi I am Doris from New Jersey, USA. I teach computers to K - 4 students. I am "new" at this, a learning process for me - so bear with me! We have lots of technology in our school. Looking for different ways to integrate tech into the curriculum.

Hi Marsha,

I'm actually not a brand new teacher, but brand new to this website:) This is actually my fifth year at my current school! (Wow time flies...) I started teaching second grade and did that for two years before being moved to third grade. I really enjoy third graders; the kids are more independent but still love learning. Thanks for the invitation to your blog, it looks interesting and I will definitely check it out!

-Wes

Hi Everyone,

I'm Mollie from Maryland. I am a first-year special education teacher. I teach a Multiple Intensive Needs Class (MINC) with students in kindergarten to second grade. My students have severe cognitive disabilities, and most are nonverbal. Technology helps my students in many ways, so I am eager to learn about assistive technology on this site.
