Hi, my name is Sharon Thompson. I am a kindergarten teacher in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am new to Classroom 2.0 so I have a lot of exploring to do to familiarize myself with the site. I am excited about what I've seen thus far.

Hi Steve,

Right now I live in Quito, Ecuador (great country) although I am Italian. I did all my studies in the US (BS through PhD).

I specialized in e-Learning; I even built a legal, totally on line high school - http://cvi.edu.ec - (in Spanish) for young adults that live in the Region with an economy of subsistence, free of charge; the only requirement is quality in their performance. The School belongs to a Foundation (NGO) - http://fuvia.org - not for profit I organized back in 2002 after following one year of on line courses at U. of Wisconsin, Madison, just after my arrival to Quito while working at a local university.

........ and ...... "that's all folks" ..... for now ......

HI Everyone!

I'm very excited to have found this site. Currently I'm a PhD student at George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia. One of my main research areas is Web 2.0 in Literacy Instruction. Previously, I taught mostly middle school for the past 10 years (in both St. Louis and Chicago). I'm very excited to be learning all of these amazing things about Web 2.0 and it's potential in instruction. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing through this site.

Hi All-

I'm Dana Ishii, currently getting my masters in Ed. Tech from the University of Hawaii- and working as a Special Education Teacher grades 3 and 4.

I'm doing research on PLN's and looking to expand mine, although not sure in what direction. I have many ed related ideas and interests, including alternative/farm based schools, horse/animal therapy, developing better (free) online reading programs, and any other ideas that look to change the standard school/learning culture.

My focus at the moment is graduating but please feel free to msg me if any of these ideas ring a bell with you or your cause.

Aloha,
Dana

This is a repeat from my profile info, but here goes:

My name is Michael Skyer and I am a 2nd year PhD student in the University of Rochester's Warner School, in the Teaching and Curriculum program.

I grew up in Rochester, I have a BS in Fine Art from Rochester Institute of Technology (sculpture, printmaking, painting), and a MS in Secondary Deaf Education from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. I work at NTID/RIT where I teach composition and other writing classes to deaf and hard of hearing students.

My current research interests are in disabilities studies, literacy using multimodal methods of delivery, language development, cognition and consciousness, aesthetics and how they can impact literacy development. Other topics that I find fascinating include, teacher intensification (overloading), multiliteracies, qualitative research/ethnography, postmodernist/poststructural theory, and technology within globalism.

School / Work Affiliation: Rochester Institute of Technology and University of Rochester
