Hi, I'm Alex and I'm from San Francisco. I've always had a passion and interest toward making esoteric information more accessible to lay people, and the variety of ways that people learn. Lately, I've been working in textbook publishing, managing media supplements for instructors and students, but will be starting my master's at SFSU this fall in Instructional Technology. I am very interested not only in how technology is currently being used in classrooms, museums, and other types of instituions, and how it continues to change.
Thanks.

Hello, my name is Jackie Shriner, and I teach English and reading at Wheeling Park High School in Wheeling, WV. I am quite computer literate and try to use technology in my classroom as often as possible. I actually have had a class homepage for a few years through Scholastic because it is so user friendly and takes seconds to update. It also gives helpful info and who and when and what students and parents and viewing on the site. I love it. I upload all my class handouts, powerpoints, or lectures to the site as well as links to work, weekly class lesson plans, links to videos I have shown, and nightly homework assignments. Students who are absent have no reason to come into class without their school work. It also is a great tool for parents. I am currently working on several new project based learning activities for my classes. In addition, I also facilitate online professional development for the WV Dept. of Education. I am looking forward to sharing and gaining more ideas and teaching strategies.

Hi, Jackie! I loved the Scholastic homepage system and so did my parents - I had to switch to the school system this year - I am very sad!

I know what you mean. I am not sure what the school is doing this year as we are going online with Edline for parents. I am not at all impressed with their version of Class homepages. I want to keep my Scholastic homepage as all my work is also stored there! Not only that but my students and parents actually use it! Last year, I had approximately 95 total students in 6 classes, and my homepage had 8549 total hits for the school year with the homework and announcement sections being most used.

Hello! I am so happy I found my way to this site! I am the proud 'mom' of a brand new computer lab in a brand new school in Painesville, Ohio - a eastern suburb of Cleveland. My district has never had a Technology Teacher for K-5! I am in a world new to all! I am so lucky!
I am a former 5th grade teacher with a new Tech MA - all I have to work with is Micro Office, the net, and a SMART Board - I will be searching here for 'stuff' to fill my days
I feel so 'old-school' - I am a little lost without a stack of textbooks to plan my lessons with?
Cheers!

Hi. I'm Colleen. I am a second-year high school English teacher from Illinois. I am interested, now that I have survived my first year, in incorporating technology more into my classroom. I have started with a class blog resource, and I hope to grow from there. Thank you for putting this site together!

Yay more educational technology! I stumbled onto this site on a trackback from my own (someone here linked to me, woo hoo!) and can't wait to get involved. I attended a conference on Web 2.0 in the classroom back in April and that really fired me up to do more than just blogging!
I'm Kevin (AKA: Mr. Roughton) from Southern California and I teach 7th grade world history but I drown it in tech. Now, I hope to drown it in interactive tech!

Kia Ora everyone,
Heath from New Zealand, teaching in a year 7/8 classroom. I've been implementing a few technologies into my classroom programme this year. As it is all about collaboration I thought I'd better start practicing what I teach. So here I am.
