Hi from Germany. I´m a Deputy Head in a Secondary School in Germany and I focus on Web 2.0 apps as to education.
I´ve set up a group called DigiSkills on Classroom 2.0 about digital teaching methods. Would you like to join? Would love to welcome you as well.
Greetings

If cutting-edge technology is what you are looking for, I recommend going out into the greater edu-blogosphere to look. Classroom 2.0 is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but you really ought to go further out there. Some fantastic educational technology blogs you could start with are Weblogg-ed, Educational Discourse and 2 Cents Worth. I know that there are more out there, but I've staff development today and I've got to get going. Take a look at the sidebar of my blog and you'll find that teachers from all walks of life. Most of them talk about technology off and on.

Oh, that is different, but the info is helpful anyways. I'll have 3 online classes and 1 on-campus class in the fall. Should be interesting. I'm interested in finding out about anyone who is using Web 2.0 technologies in their classrooms and other cutting-edge techniques. Also, how school librarians are collaborating with classroom teachers.

Hi Suzanne!

My Master's is in Language, Literacy & Culture (LLC) Curriculum and Instruction, which I think might be a different program from the one you're in. If you do take an LLC class, I highly recommend Sally Nathenson-Mejia.

Almost all of the classes I took had an online component with e-college, which I loved. I was disappointed that more professors didn't take full advantage of all the features e-college offered. I didn't take any online courses, but I did take a hybrid course toward the end of my program. After taking the hybrid course, I regretted not having signed up for online classes earlier. I think it would have been easier not to drive back and forth to Denver every week.

Hey, feel free to ask me anything else.
