Hello...

I'm Mary Meisel, from Emporium, Pennsylvania. I had bookmarked this page a while back and on revisiting I decided it was time to join. Web 2.0 offers so many powerful tools for use in education and although many of these tools are blocked in our school district at the present time, I hope that more information and greater understanding of those tools will help turn the tide.

I looking forward to this adventure!

Hi Mary Welcome to CR2.0. I think you'll find some great ideas here. I was listening to an online conversation recently (EdTechTalk???) about filtering in schools. Some have been able to request unblocking of specific sites with an explanation of how it meets a particular ed need. Might be worth a try.

Hi everyone,

I am a primary school teacher in sunny island Singapore. I love using technology in the classrooms and trying out new ways to engage my pupils. Would love to collaborate with teachers in other countries who are teaching the same age group (11-12yr old). I am passionate about teaching and would love to get in touch with other teachers around the world.

Hello everyone. My name is Bill and I teach 7th grade langauge arts at a school in central Pennsylvania. I just recently heard about this website and I think it's great. I am a third year teacher and I've recently been incorporating a lot of classroom 2.0 material into my language arts class. Thus far, the kids love it. And while our school is limited on funding and technology, we are making some waves and gains.

Welcome to Classroom 2.0. Congratulations on including 2.0 strategies already. I can relate to the limited funding and technology, My school district was already like that and now it is even more true with the CA budget crisis. I think you'll find a lot of great ideas and perspectives on 2.0 tools and strategies here.
