Hi, I'm arvind. I'm in New York City in the United States. I am an educational technologist, a teacher, a coach, a blogger, a webcaster/podcaster, a Twitterer and a whole bunch of other stuff that I won't get into right now.

Looking forward to seeing how Classroom 2.0 and I can intersect...

Hi Arvind
I think I know you (or at least, your name) through Paul A and the Writing Project, is that right?
Welcome
Kevin

That's very cool. I haven't run into anyone in a lot of years who even knew what a gopher was. Did you use Archie, Jughead, and Veronica as well?

While I think I'm still too young to be old, I've been playing on the Internet longer than many of my students have been alive. I think that gives me (and you) a comfort level with technology that most teachers lack.

Hi! I'm a 4th grade teacher from Hill City, Kansas. We're a very small community of 1600 people and have roughly 300 students, pre-K through 12. I'm interested in networking with other teachers to create some collaborative learning projects for the next school year.
