Hello all! I am Jerri Davis. I am a Technology Integration Specialist for grades 3 to 8. I work in a small school district in Texas. I am hoping to learn more each day in order to be a better resource for the teachers I serve. I want to be a good example for the teachers with which I work.

Hi, how's it going? My name is Torie and I don't believe walking students through a uniform curriculum. I'm stationed in Pittsburg, KS. =)

Hello Torie,

What do you mean by "uniform curriculum?" How would you suggest what to use for curriculum?

Hello

My name is Nutan Mangla and I work as a technology cordinator in a high school in Bloomfield Hills,Michigan. We use moodle in our schools and love working in the moodle environment.Similarly, as using the google docs, we are able to collaborate using wikis,slideshows and soon( I am hoping) real time collaboration.

Last year I finished my master thesis on the "Teacher and Student Perceptions of Learning and Motivation with Interactive Boards" and believe we have come to a different focus in teaching.

Hello. I am Alan Griffin. I am a Curriculum Content Specialist with the Utah State Office of Education. I work with the adoption of textbooks and other instructional materials in the schools. I have been doing some research to focus on the characteristics of the finest instructional materials. I am interested in in gathering information about the materials being used in various subject areas throughout the country, and what criteria was used to select them. Does anyone know of a tool that could be used to accumulate information on the textbooks being used in the schools? Which is the most popular? Why do particular districts or schools prefer a particular text? I would be very interested in your feedback.
