Greetings,
I am a new media specialist in a 3-5 building. I'm really excited to be part of this group and learn more about web 2.0 tools. I am hoping to set up a wiki, blog, webpage and work with some moodle tools, before the 10-11 school year begins.

Hi everyone!
I'm a 4th year ESL teacher working in a high school. I'm fairly new to the online community, and I'm interested in learning more about how to use the technology I have in the classsroom.

Also, I am a grad student and in dire need of help: If you could, please take a survey for me on teacher burnout -- it's less than 5 minutes!! It's for all high school and middle school teachers:

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to the group!

Hi there, everyone! I'm not a new teacher, but am brand new this week to joining the online community and getting a jumpstart on blogging and wikis. I'm a music teacher who is looking forward to integrating lots more 21st century skills and project learning in my high school classes this fall. Looking forward to getting to know you better!

I am not a beginner. I was using telecomputing in the 1980's when K-12 was a pioneer, along with persons with disabilities. It took about 10 years for the universities to catch up.

Back then all we had was text, mostly email and chat, but we were able to accomplish quite a bit with minimal technology. The Ning is a good way to meet people and share ideas. But if we did not have it we would still have forums, mailing lists and email. The Ning wraps it up nicely and adds graphics.
Convenient, but not indespensible.

Long winded way of saying don't let the glitter of technology distract you. Start with a goal and think about the tool you need. An email exchange among children here and in the Caribbean would teach more history, geography. culture etc than books and films. It would be a great contribution to be able to share pictures of home and audio files of their music. Great, but still icing on the cake.

Hi! My name is Dianne Tarmann, and I just finished my 30th year of teaching 4th grade. I am completing my masters degree in instructional media through Wilkes University. I appreciate that you have a beginner's group. Using technology to enhance my classroom is important to me, but I have never used Ning before. I am looking forward to the new ideas that are available through this network.

Hi my name is Angela. I teach in a rural district in northeastern Pennsylvania. I just finished my first year teaching third grade. I taught first grade for five years prior. I enjoyed the switch in grade levels even though third grade is the grade we begin our state testing. I am currently enrolled in a masters program through Wilkes University. My Web 2.0 class recommended checking out this network. I’m excited to see what it has to offer and what great insights I may find to bring to my classroom.

My name is Larry Langley. I teach high school students (ages 13-18) in the following subjects: journalism, English language arts, theater arts, reading (7th grade) and yearbook. The name of our school is Rocksprings High School located in Rocksprings, TX 78880, population 1285. We have 293 students enrolled at present. The majority of my students are Hispanic.
I want to involve my students in a cross-cultural experience this year using many kinds of technology (building a web site, pod casting, video casting, digital photography and so on).One of the issues I'm facing is finding funding for some of the equipment I need for my classes. Any hints on how to procure cams, mics, etc?
I have 6 children--5 boys and 1 girl; they are all married with children of their own; grandpa of 13 and married to pioneer woman Laura. We live on an 800-acre ranch in Rocksprings, TX.
