Hello, my name is Ben Parker. I have been teaching for 13 years at places around the world but am now in Pennsylvania. I have been trying to integrate technology as well as cross-curricular projects and work and now get to be doing that in a 3rd grade class.

It great to be able to use technologies in class. It helps in motivating the students and helps the retention of students

Hello everyone! My name is Barnali and I'm from India. I am a part time teacher and an M.Ed student. I really love teaching and I think its what I was made for. I've always wanted to become a teacher. So now I want to become a good one. Currently I need help with a project I have to do for my special paper, Educational technology. Could anyone suggest a topic for this project? As India is a developing country, not many technological devices are used here. But we are trying to change it. I don't want anything too complex though. I think smartphones in school classrooms can be a topic. What do you all think? Please please help me.

Salutations. I'm Valerie Wagner in the wilds of suburban Maryland. I'm not a teacher yet, but working towards it. Not sure what grade level I'm interested in, but since I don't know anything about anything yet, I hope I have time to figure that out too. So I'm intimidated and anxious, but here I am.
