Hello, I am new in Classroom 2.0 and wish to introduce myself.

I work in Finland in a university of applieds sciences. Mainly I supervise bachelor and master thesis works and work on R&D. Our univerisity has a special pedagogical approach (Learning by Developing). All students learn from the first day to work on R&D projects and use eLearning methods. Real life development projects are the core of education.

I have two new R&D projects related to use of social media and new technology for teaching and learning.  

For several years I have been running a project where the aim is to promote health among teenagers with the help of new technology and social media. Moreover I have several students working on developing services for senior using social media as a communication tool.

If you are interested in collaborating in R&D work, let me know and I will tell you more.

On the other hand, my husband I have our home and life in Provence, France. For me this means enjoying the lovely climate, the nature,the history and culture,  the pleasures of good quality food and drink and last not but least, the company of my French husband.

If you wish to follow my activities in France, see Facebook -"Velleron our village" or "La Roubine - vacation home in Provence"

Hi Auli,  I've been connecting with a group in Sweden and other countries via Facebook and Skype. You can find them at http://www.facebook.com/groups/SOCAP/doc/234173159983288/

I've also been engaging interns over the past six years in an on-going project aimed at helping connect business, volunteers and philanthropy with volunteer-based tutoring, mentoring and learning programs in high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago.  My goal is to connect strategically with programs such as yours so that the students have faculty support and stay involved for multiple years, then apply what they learn in their adult lives. You can learn about this and see some of projects at http://michaelcnt.blogspot.com/

If you or any other educators would like to involve students in this project you can introduce yourself in the group at http://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/group/cktmc

You are right. No one knows what will happen after a second. How do you apply technology in your class? How often do you use ICT ?
