Welcome, Lisa! I love the term "geeked up" - that's certainly what Classroom 2.0 has done for me. If you're looking to get REALLY geeky, start using twitter, it'll put you over the geek edge :-)

Hi Lisa,
I teach at a 7-12 private school in Beaverton, OR and LOVE to meet other tech-loving Oregonians. What kind of work do you do? Are you in Grad school?

Welcome, Savitri! This is an excellent place to get a feel for what new tools everyone is using and to ask questions. Looking forward to hearing from you and learning more about what you do.

I can provide you the initial link for the website, it currently incorporates Google Page Creator, Earth, Picasa, Docs, YouTube as well as Blogger.

Also working on using Google Sites to implement a school wide collaboration of materials, instead of file share.

Very fun. I recognize the layout! :)

I looked at Google Sites the other night, but don't have Google Apps going and so coldn't drill down as much as I wanted to. I liked the video intro, but wanted to play around myself...

Welcome Tom! What a neat goal, I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress. I'm a huge fan of a lot of google products and hope to use more of them in my classroom in the future. I'll be watching you to see what you do!
