Hello all,

I am a technology instructor in my K-5 building in Pennsylvania. Looking forward to chatting and learning with all of you. This is my 2nd year as a tech instructor after teaching 7 years in 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. Drop me a line.
Hi
I´m an ICT-educator from Smedjebacken, Sweden. I try to get our teachers involved in digital competence and learning with media. It´s not that easy, but I find it so amazing to get envolved with project directed to the pupils.

And then I stumbled on to the classroom 2.0, and whaoo there are some people out there who just love web 2.0 and medialitercy and all kind of digital learningtools. Thanx for all your nice tips... love them :)

Bye,
Anders
Hello Anders. There are a lot of people who just love web2.0 and are willing to share their knowledge with others. I have also found some great tips here, made some wonderful friends and enjoyed the discussions and forums.
Hello All,
Carol Smith, former teacher of English, newly hired teacher-educator, West Chester, PA, U.S.A.

I am just beginning a new career as assistant professor of literacy. I'll work with undergraduate education majors and graduate students pursuing a masters' degree in reading. My primary research interest is computer-based learning experiences that develop students' literacy and prepare them to participate in global learning communities. I am especially interested in computer-based learning amongst students of lower socioeconomic status and students who demonstrate learning differences. So I figure it's high time for me to join a global learning community myself.
I look forward to learning from practicing teachers who engage students in web-based learning communities.
Carol
Welcome Carol. You are in great community here. You will find lots to interest in this classroom.
Hi,
I am Mary Ellen Lynch in Montreal, Canada. I am teaching grade 2 this year but will go back to grade one next year as we loop. I am very excited to find this community. I am getting hooked on technology. I found Jane Krauss and we are going to connect about butterflies.
Hi Mary Ellen, My name is Katie and I'm a part-time teacher in Melbourne Australia. My school is structured with Preps as single grades but the 1& 2 together, 3 & 4 together and 5 & 6 together with several classes of each. We have just begun talking about moving to single grades next year and I was interested in your schools "loop" theory. Do I gather that the teacher moves up a grade with the students? (I'm guessing for reasons of continuity and relationship building?) Could you tell me more about it please. I'd be interested in taking the idea to my Principal. Cheers xKatie
Hi Katie,
I was just looking through the introductions to see if I introduced myself and saw your comment. I would like to connect with you. Yes, the teacher moves up with the class though we stay in the same classroom. In September I will take a grade 1 class and keep them for grade two. Relationship building is a big plus. We don't lose time at the beginning of grade 2 getting to know the kids. We can move on where we left off. We know the kids better - their strengths and weaknesses. I created an edublog in April - My first try at it. I am new to Classroom 2.0 and Love it!.

We currently use Moodle as a LMS at my school and I am a keen user of all forms of technology.

I was introduced to this website at a conference a couple of weeks ago.
Hello. I'm James Herbert the Microsoft Networking Technologies instructor at Fountainhead College of Technology. (I teach Microsoft stuff).
You would think that it would be obvious how to incorporate Web 2.0 into a Microsoft course. It's not as simple as it seems...

I like to think of myself as an early adopter. Turns out that most of my students are not.

My blog is here and I would like to think that I am contributing something or at least giving it a good honest effort ;-)
It would be best if I used the right url. wordpress has a D in it.

Thank you Anne Mirtschin for helping point that out.
