Hello to all. Marilyn Caldwell Wescott from Harrisburg, PA. I am a former elementary teacher and staff developer originally from Clearwater, FL - Pinellas Co. Schools. For the past 15 years I've been designing and delivering professional development in the area of continuous school/classroom improvement as a member of the Jim Shipley & Associates, Inc. team. A client (HEB ISD, TX) recently introduced me to the infinite possibilities for collaborative, participatory, engaged learning via Web 2.0 tools. I''m so excited to learn (1) what Web 2.0 tools are out there; (2) how these tools can help my JSA team of educational consultants and deliverers of professional development work more collaboratively AND efficiently/effectively; and (3) how these tools can and are being used by the educators we work with to continually improve the school and classroom learning system
My name is Marie Doherty. I live in Co Donegal in Ireland. As a teacher I have been working with parents in my area for the last 10 years as the home school liason person but in Sept I am going back to teaching. I will be teaching 5th/6th class. The children are 11 and 12 year olds so I think it is like grade 6/grade 7. I am looking forward to going back to the classroom although I am a little nervous. I am looking forward to being part of this community.
Greetings All! Janet Kauffmann from Gloucester City, NJ - right across the river from Philadelphia, so we are in the southern part of the state. I'm the Director of Technology and we are committed to moving our teachers into 2.0 environments and making the most of the open source opportunities out there. I really want to hear what teachers all over the place are saying about what works and what doesn't work in their classrooms.

Hiya, I'm Valerie Hernandez. I live in Brooklyn, New York, work in Manhattan, was born in Belize, C.A. and attended secondary school in Silicon Valley. I'm in my second year of teaching at Henry Street School for International Studies. Prior to teaching, I was a graphic designer and web producer for The Wall Street Journal, Major League Baseball, and The Economist magazine. These were all great jobs, but nothing, and I mean, nothing, beats my current vocation. My students, and co-workers are the most awesome individuals.
Hi all - I'm Chris Walker from Christchurch, New Zealand. I'm a teacher of History, Classical Studies (Ancient Greece and Rome) and Social Studies to Year 9-13s (US Grades 8-12). I'm very keen on utilising Web 2.0 for teaching and learning - there's some exciting stuff going on. I'm loving trying things out with my classes and watching them get into it. And online communities like this are a great source of new ideas. Thanks to all who have worked on getting this happening.
