    Hi Lisa, I'm a teacher working at a public school in Brooklyn and doing my Master's thesis on how Web 2.0 can support PLCs. I would be interested on your thoughts on the matter and also how ARIS fits into this picture. I was excited to find come across your profile, and hope you are able to discuss and share what you've learned. -thanks! Dana

    Hi Lisa,

    When asked you how to get more tech into my middle school (11X127) you advised me to do it myself. I'm following your advice; I'm just back from NECC09 and have lots of ideas to transform my classroom and to spread to my colleagues. Thanks for the advice. Deven

    Hi Lisa,
    I would like for you to consider creating a place on the cell phone group where we can post links. I have looked through several of the past posts and there are links to some great sites. Unfortunately, they get lost in the shuffle of material. It would be great to have something on the front end where the links could be posted. This would be especially helpful for the newbies who come to the site looking for help, but might not know how to dig through the piles of data to find it. Let me know if you would like to chat.
    Best,
    Joe
