Good Morning!

My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.

I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.

If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.

The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey.  You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please forward this information to them.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Everyone!  I've been trying to get my blog up and running.  Well, at least posting to it frequently.  Please stop by if you're bored.  I write about all aspects of teaching with a literacy, inquiry, and technology focus.  Thanks!  I'm excited to share ideas with everyone.

Dear colleagues and friends,

I was just wondering if you had some questionnaire/checklist to obtain data on foreign language teachers' perceptions on the use of Web2.0 tools. I would like to collect data on this topic. The results will be shared here, of course.

Many thanks for your assistance and cooperation in advance.

Hello! I teach K-2 Special Education. I took a look at the reading web sites you all have collected and found several sites to use with my students. Websites seem to get my students so excited about reading. Thanks to all of you for your ideas and suggestions!

Would anyone out there like to read a story electronically to my second grade class in the month of November? My class will return the favor! We could share our stories via Skype, or Voicethread. My school is having a contest to see how many readers we can get to come to our classes this month and we get double points for Skype, or technologically facilitated read-alouds! Send me a message if you are interested. We are a second grade class in an independent school in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Has anyone every used "dimdim" for online conferencing for activities such as bookclubs with kids? I am curious because I am seeing it mentioned more and more.

Michelle, where this start discussion? I don't think comments are the best place to ask just because your's almost a year old but maybe someone can help.
