About Me
I am a social studies teacher at a small alternative high school in western Nebraska. I teach both f2f and online. Moodle is our LMS. I am truly passionate about my content as well as preparing students for the 21st century. It can be quite the balancing act! My favorite tools are Skype, GoogleDocs, VoiceThread, Twitter, and Diigo. I am also the founder of the Send a Newbie to ISTE project. See my blog for more information.

    Beth,

    I was just browsing through the discussion about obstacles facing online learning/educators and noticed you're looking for some sort of hookup with students from elsewhere.

    I'm a secondary (Year 10 - so 15 year olds) English teacher and have my class making regular blog posts that aren't necessarily curriculum related (they can write about anything, the goal is to encourage them to express themselves).

    I'm certainly interested in at least talking about possibly connections - not sure how we can figure it all out, but am sure we could nut something out!

    Hi Beth, I'm a friend of Mobbsey, I'm a school teacher from Nepal. Irun a school for poor family children. I want to share ideas and know better ideas how i can help students carry on their studies. Most of the girl children leave school in the middle. there's very bad dropout rate every year. I'm worried for that.

    Hi Beth,
    I'm new to online teaching. I have been using WizIq to conduct live classes outside of my normal f2f class time. I was wondering about the teaching model you use. Do you conduct live online classes? Do you use Elluminate? Is the curriculum you use in your online classes the same as the one you use in your f2f teaching?
