Hello Classroom 2.0 I hope you are what I am looking for. I've twittered, twhirled, designed a wiki, set up a pbwiki, placed bookmarks in Delicious, set up an igoogle page and a google group for students to collaborate etc.. The million dollar question is how to make it all work!! And a bigger question........ by the way I know a sentence doesn't start with And, how to find the time?

Oh yes, My Name is Lynn (LJ) I am a K-8 computer teacher in a school of 440 students in West Bend, WI
I thrive on technology and its possibilities for students.

Hi folks!

I'm Ashley Garner and I teach 6th grade math at an all boys K-6 independent school in Memphis, TN. My tech coach turned me on to this site and it looks like a great place so far. I'm very interested in collaborating with any other middle school math teachers here in the US and especially abroad. Our school embraces global perspectives and I'm so excited to see so many international members!

Hi - I'm brand new to Classroom 2.0. I teach 6th grade English (grammar, writing, vocabulary) at an all boys school in Memphis, TN. I'm interested in learning about ways to incorporate technology in the English classroom and also concrete methods and tips for teaching grammar through writing. I'm glad to have found this highly recommended site!
