Hi,

This is Nathan Toft. I currently teaching 5/6 in a k-8 school near Ottawa, Canada. Looking forward to learning more about finding ways to use web 2.0 (what an awful name that is) stuff in the classroom.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll have to come clean: the avatar was created by my son, who was four at the time.

I look forward to jumping in on a few discussions in the near future.

Hi Nathan, welcome as well. I teach information technology to grades 4 through to 10 and have learnt lots of things to put into each of those classes. Join in the discussions and search through the tags as there is a wealth of materials out there.

Hello,
My name is Lisa Wiebenga Stroschine, from Cedar Rapids, IA. I'm the Academic Technologist at Coe College. I'm interested in keeping up with the unique ways other educators are using these new technologies...especially low-threshold, low-cost applications.

I'm Don Dunlap. I teach Business Education, Marketing Education, Entrepreneurship and Economics at the alternative school for Henry County Georgia. I'm doing a dual-enrollment class with the local Tech College, delivering my instruction in a blended (online & face-to-face) format, and developing a tool to automate differentiation of instruction based on learning styles and multiple intelligences as the basis for my contextual study for my Ed.D. So far teaching at my school has been a blast - very rewarding....
