Lauren,
Just wanted to welcome you to Classroom 2.0!
It's interesting to learn that being part of this community was a requirement in a teacher training programme! We have certainly come a long way! It's so good to see that online professional development resources are recognized out there in the real classrooms. There is still a lot of resistance to this type of learning (mostly because it doesn't give you a piece of paper at the end) but, gradually, the online world is getting richer and is beginning to get the attention that it deserves.
Welcome aboard! I'm sure that you will continue to find value in the time you spend on this site.

Hey everybody! I think I am already feeling overwhelmed around here. WOW, what a huge tank of knowledge to draw from.
I teach in the Educational Technology and Library media program at Pittsburg State University in SE Kansas. This is my first semester in this role. I crossed over "from the dark side" of public education after teaching high school math for 10 years. I must say that I am LOVING where I am now. Being able to share new technologies with fellow teachers has always been a passion of mine, and that's what I am getting to do now.
I will say that this whole Web 2.0 thing is terribly intimidating, but exciting at the same time. I am trying to learn as much and as fast as I can. I think Classroom 2.0 is going to help me with that learning curve! I look forward to meeting some of you and sharing ideas and frustrations.

Hi Michelle and welcome to Classroom 2.0!
Yes, a quick glance at the number of forums and discussions here reveals that this indeed is a rich environment and, therefore, can often seem intimidating. It sounds like you have a lot of experience as an educator, though, so feel free to jump into some existing forums or start your own discussion on a topic that is relevant to you.
Welcome aboard!

Hi everyone. I'm an assistant principal at a high school in Winchester, Virginia. I got started with Web 2.0 just recently becaue of a class from UVA taught by another mem ber, Chris Oneal. I've started using some basic tools and trying to help out the other administrators in broadening their use of the internet. I think this group can help in that task. It appears to have an amazing group of people to draw from. Hope I can be of some assistance.
