Hello all,
I am Bruce Mullen, I teach Middle School Physical Science In Connecticut, USA. I received my teaching certification 5 years ago in math and science both 7-12 as a mid-career shift.
My undergraduate work and former profession (prior to becoming a teacher) was in manufacturing as a mechanical engineer.
In any spare time I can find I enjoy farming and I tutor high school students in the advanced math and physical science courses. I would like to move this tutoring work to an on-line environment but as yet I do not know how.
I was introduced to Classroom2.0 through classmates in an online Education Technology graduate program through the University of Connecticut which I hope to complete at the close of this fall term. At this point I know little about Classroom2.0 and less what I can do with it. Looking forward to an awesome new online experience!!!
Bruce

This is a great environment to learn about technology in the classroom. The discussions range from the riduculous to the sublime, from discussion of a specific web tool to how to set up networks. There is something for everybody. If you have a specific interest like blogging, wikis or distance learning do a search by topic and you will find archived discussions that have taken place over the last 18 months. If you can't find your answer then you can post a "discussion" in the forum. The "Start Discussion" button is at the bottom of the forum. Feel free to comment on other discussion or post a new discussion. N.

Hi. I'm a college professor that teaches future teachers how to integrate technology. For a couple years, I've been teaching my students the awesome world of Blogs, Wikis, and other 2.0-related technologies, not just how to use them, but how to integrate them effectively as a teacher. However, even though they are digital natives of social networking, my students don't seem to recognize the educational implications. They don't see it, and the effective integration typically has never been modeled for them, (and I'm pretty sure I'm not helping very much). In addition, trying to take "I'm a student" thinking individuals and convert them into "I'm a teacher" thinking individuals in regards to social networking in education has been a battle that I seem to lose more often than I win.
Having said that, I'm looking for ways, places, sites, etc., that can lead me to better, more effective methods of teaching future teachers how to integrate social networking. I'm looking for ways to, at the very least, model the effective uses. This site, along with Ning in Education and others, may just be the place, the way, the site, for which I've been searching.
Thanks for the site, Steve.
