Hello Lisa, I think it is great that you are using a blog for your science class. Our science teacher does as well. We have also set up a school homepage using the blog as interface. Our technician created our formal home page, but only comes into school once or twice a week. At least with the blog, several of us can manage and edit it as required. If you are interested in looking at it, it is at http://hawkesdale.globalstudent.org.au. All our teacher and class blogs are linked from there. I would be interested in knowing which platform you use and then, how it progresses.

Wow Anne, what a great site! It is clear that a lot of work has gone into it - so much content to look at. We are just starting out at my school, mainly using edublogs.org. Most of the teachers right now are using the blogs to give out homework assignments and study reminders - whereas my students don't receive homework from me, and therefore I am using the site more to catalogue work we've done and communicate with the families.
Edublogs has a paid membership service that the school is currently looking into - but for now I'm happy with my little corner of the internet, and as long as the kids are on board with me I'm confident that they'll keep pushing things forward.

Hello! I’m the director of information technology and research for a state agency with responsibility for the certification, preparation and conduct of certificated personnel employed in public schools. While I am not trained as an educator, I have taught continuing education and college, and have been an IT director on a campus of a private university.
I’m interested in the potential impact of Web 2.0 on government and public education. I am especially interested in the effect the social networking technologies may have on the interactions between educators and students both in and outside the classroom and on the interactions of educators with the communities in which they serve.
Also, most state governments have some sort of “approval” system for educator preparation programs; we know what to do with “brick-and-mortar” programs, but I don’t hear a lot of forward-thinking about the approval of online educator preparation programs. I’d like to help inform that discussion.
Background – twenty-plus years in information technology (anyone remember BITNET or Gopher?) Database architect and software developer (SQL Server, Visual Basic, etc.).

Welcome to Classroom 2.0 Chuck
You have mentioned an issue that is starting to be talked and written about. Here is an article you might be interested in from American School Board Journal entitled "How Schools Can Use Social Networking".

Hi Jennifer.
Congratulations on making it through the first year and seeking out resources like Classroom 2.0. There are a number of really good people here who work primarily with Special Education students. You might want to take a look at the The Inclusion Revolution - Technology in Special Education group. you'll find Groups on left-hand side of the main Classroom 2.0 page.

I'm an educator currently working on a doctorate in Learning & Teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, MA. My professional experience includes education research, curriculum design, professional development, educational media production, and teaching at the K-12 and graduate levels. My current research investigates the potential for digital communication media to support the teaching of writing and the development of authorship at the intermediate and secondary levels. I welcome the opportunity to connect with other educators interested in tapping into the potential of Web 2.0 to promote learning.
