I teach in OP Kansas and just got back from family Thanksgiving in Manhattan. I'm glad colleges are offering tech integration. I haven't seen a lot of it in the new teachers in my school.

Hi,
I'm Lisa Mireles living on the island of Kaua'i in Hawaii. I am a principal of a small, independent school, working on my doctorate in EdTech from Pepperdine, teaching online for Regis University (Tech for Educators), a CODIE judge, a mom, a wife and a stand up paddleboarder. Prior to moving to Kaua'i, I worked in International Schools for 9 years and my last overseas job was at the American School of Bombay where I was Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum/Staff Development as we integrated all 3 IB programs and a one to one laptop program. I'm thinking of writing my dissertation on some aspect of Web 2.0 tools - my current favorite idea is teacher awareness, perception and use of Web 2.0 tools. It's probably much too broad so if anyone has any ideas, advice, resources or knows of anyone else doing something similar, I would love to know!
Aloha,
Lisa

Hi to all! My name is Pam Allyn and I am very happy to be here on Classroom 2.0. I have worked in the field of literacy education for a long time, and I can't remember a time when education was simmering to quite this degree since the years of Don Murray and Don Graves when they started the conversation on writing process so many, many years ago. They brought a new fire to the profession, and that is what I feel is happening now with the 2.0 possibilities. I appreciate you all for experimenting and for leading the way. I lead two organizations, LitLife and now, LItWorld, which serve school communities in the area of literacy education. I am most interested in how the 2.0 technology can help the teachers and the students with whom we work to be inspired by words. I am very eager to hear what you are all doing and to browse here. Thank you!

Hi,
My name is Tanya Travis. I'm a 4th grade teacher in Cambridge, Maryland. I also provide PD on infusing technology in the classroom. I'm looking to find new ideas that will get my students and teachers excited about new technologies.

I'm delighted to find this community. I no longer see the classroom much, but my heart is still there!
I'm a former classroom teacher (17 years in ESOL and Spanish) now working as a Learning Technologist at the University of Sheffield in the UK.
Coming from a subject specialism where communication and collaboration are everything, I am excited by the opportunities that web2.0 is opening up and enjoying the intellectual, organisational and personal challenges involved in trying to help make deep, engaging, valuable learning happen.
I look forward to sharing and collaborating with you.

MIke Umphrey--sometime writer, sometime teacher. I work in Polson, Montana, on the Flathead Reservation. I'm the founding director of the Montana Heritage Project, which remains my favorite education initiative ever, though it is still a paradigm too far for most schools.

Greetings All!
RayZ here, a k-12 school guy with some answers and still looking for the others.
The classroom changes but not the heart of true teachers/educators. I'm a member
of Lions International (We Serve) and "Teachers International" (We Share). Ah, I made
that last one up -- it fits our tradition though. Looking to spend lots more time with all
my new friends in Classroom 2.0.

Hey folks, my name is Ben Hassenger. I live in LA (that's the Lansing Area in Michigan) and am taking two classes at Michigan State University to renew my teaching certificate in elementary and special education after 25 years. I am looking forward to substitute teaching starting next month and will be looking for a K or 1st grade teaching job if it all works out. I hope to integrate technology and music into my teaching, you can check out some of my musical adventures at: www.myspace.com/bquietmusic
Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Hi everyone! I am Elizabeth Freeman. I teach first grade in Sandy Hook, KY. I have started a network about teaching elementary math the "new" way and I'm looking for people to participate in some of the discussions as a project for other teachers at my school. I am new to classroom 2.0 and I am excited to get to know everyone and join in on some discussions.

Hello! I'm glad to be a part of this network. I teach 8th grade U.S. History in Union City, MI. I have recently completed and earned a Master's Degree in Educational Technology from Michigan State University. Teaching with technology has become somewhat of a passion. Employing multimedia and collaborative Web 2.0 tools are becoming commonplace in my classroom. A next step that I'd like to see in my classroom is collaborating with other classrooms via wikis and video chats. Let me know if you're interested.

Hi. My name is John Oppenheim. I have been in high tech sales and management for 40 years. About 6 years ago I started teaching at Pepperdine University and Downey Adult School. Currently I teach at MIS at Pepperdine and Accounting and Quickbooks at Downey.
At Pepperdine we are using both Blackboard and Confluence in our class. I have a great wiki from Confluence and also have my own Google sites and PB wiki and have recently signed up for Ning. I do a lot of consulting to various organizations and am trying to keep up with things.
Recently I attended a conference in San Francisco and went to two workshops on social networking. I really like this site and would like to connect with people who can benefit from my experience and vice versa (more on that one than mine).
Thanks for your efforts.
