Hi Linda,

I was a replacement professor at a University in Belem (UFPA) at English course. Unfortunately, I'm not working at this area anymore but I'm studying Instructional Design and I guess we can share some ideas. right?

Hi everyone! My name is Narie (like Marie with an N) and I am from a tiny town called Lake Butler in Florida. It is close to Gainesville which makes it so I can attend the wonderful University of Florida. I am in my 3rd year where I am majoring in History and minoring in Education with hopes to teach... which is the reason why I am here!

I joined CR 2.0 to provide feedback (within that CR2.0 group) on the forthcoming ACEC2010 Conference (Melbourne - where I live).

I've been teaching in a Steiner/Waldorf High School since the mid 90s, and before that taught part-time at a University (Philosophy) and in a State High School (ICT - or Computing, as it was known in the 80s, and other subjects).

Though I highly value the wonderful developments in the field of ICT and its appropriate place in the art of education, I am also of the view that there is usually too little critical self-reflection on the part of enthusiastic adopters.

Hello!

I am the director of technology at a small charter middle school in Pacoima, CA, USA. We have about 360 students, 6th through 8th, and are chartered as a technology integrated project & service learning school. I teach 7th grade art & technology and tech coach & mentor a staff of 16 teachers and 9 non teaching staff. We are in our 6th year of operation, and are looking for some amazing things from our students. The website is a bit minimalist (since I do the web design in my time), but check us out at http://www.coronacharter.org

We are a Mac centric network with Linux for the really important stuff, as few Windows machines as I can possibly get. I love to brag about our kids and our school, so feel free to hit me up with any questions!
