Hi Everyone!

I'm currently in Colorado and am very interested in New Zealand. Are there any Kiwi educators out there I can connect with? Will be in Auckland in March. Maybe I can visit your school and learn more about what NZ education is all about. Hope so!

Thanks,
Hilary

I am probably coming about this from a different direction than most of you here as I am not a certified techer or school employee.
I am a Media Producer/Entrepreneur on the Southern Oregon Coast. As a "one man show", I produce video, audio, graphics and web for clients. I caught the media bug as an acct exec at a local CBS TV affilites in 2000.

I teach a media class one day a week to an Alternative High School that focuses on credit recovery.

I am self taught in all of this and have found a network of info providers that keep me in the loop!

Some of my project sites include:

nogglemedia.com

mediaartistadvisor.info

oregoncoastescapes.com

coosbaytvhomes.com

So, enough about me...how can I help you?

Hi everyone. I know most of you. I am from Washington DC, but I taught in Arlington , Va for a long time, three years in DC and then I escaped. I am interested in STEM, transforming education, still... and computational science for everyone, and geography as a reality of our work in project based learning. I am an advocate of broadening engagement.

Hi Greg, welcome!

Plymouth is such an interesting place! One of the highlights of my childhood was visiting Plymouth Plantation with my grandmother. For people who have not seen the ROCK it is always surprising how small it is!! We went out to her cabin on the pond (?) too. Good luck and have fun! ~ Hilary
