Hello Stephanie and Welcome to Classroom 2.0.I am a Primary Visual Arts Teacher from Melbourne, Australia and I have been a member for a few weeks. I am enjoying it very much and have joined some of the interest groups and worked out how to change the look of my page. This Ning network is easy to manage. I made a group up for my staff so they might all share in the enjoyment I feel in connecting with others across the world. I'm not sure whether you and I would teach any of the same age levels but tomorrow our students start for the 2009 school year so I'll find out what our 11 and 12 year olds will be like.
All the best for your Classoom 2.0 journey from Yvonne.
