Hi, I'm Scott. I'm working my first full time teaching position now, but I have a varied past. I've spent years as a Computer Technician, an Actor, a Campus Policeman, a Fisherman, you name it!

I love technology and I'm super glad to see a community like this one that I can be part of.

My name is Scott Gardner. I am a teacher librarian at Beaverton PS in Beaverton, Ontario, Canada. with the introduction of the new Ontario school library document, The Learning Commons, our board has rocketed into the 21st century. I am hoping to lasso the rocket and get dragged along behind.

Hi Scott - I am switching from Tech to Library so I might need to jump on your rocket.

HI Anka - What is recreational education? I will be teaching in an elementary school as a librarian next year. How could we connect?

My name is Kimberly S. and I'm a 7th and 8th grade language teacher in Illinois. I also have a middle school endorsement in Social Studies and Science. I'm currently working on my master's degree (graduating in Dec. - God-willing!) in Education with a focus on Teaching and Technology. I graduated with my undergrad in 2008 and I have taught at Catholic schools before taking a position at a university library. I'm not getting back into teaching and just landed another position at a Catholic school for the 2012-13 school year. Very excited. I'm hoping to be able to network with other technology specialists as well as teachers who have experience in middle school language arts programs.

Thanks,

Kimberly

Hey everyone. My name is Carol, math and science teacher in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

I am looking to find more student-centred ways to teach math and science. Specifically, I am trying to put together activities for a lesson for factoring trinomials (math).

So far, I have a lesson on interactive whiteboard and students showing their learning on glogster. How else can I incorporate another type of technology for activities they can try?

Ideas are much appreciated. Thanks :)
