Hi Mike! I am a 4th grade teacher (new to this site) and I use wikis in my classroom. We use them for our writing and various projects. :)

Hey everybody!

This is Brian Yearling. I am a high school English teacher, educational technology nut,and a podcaster.

Anyone interested in checking out my podcast, it is about finding free resources that you can begin to use in your classroom to transform your analog, quasi-analog, or partially analog classroom into a full-fledged, digital zone of connectedness and learning. My current production schedule is aimed at putting out a new show once every 2-3 weeks.

I'm looking to connect with other teachers who are using technology in their classrooms, especially at the 6-12 grade levels. I will try anything twice: once to try it, and once to tweak it. If you've got a project idea, I will be happy to find a way to fit it into my classroom instruction. Just contact me.

I am the director of "Voices from the New American Schoolhouse.com" and founder of Arts & Ideas Sudbury School, Baltimore's first Sudbury school. Our take on School 2.0 is that full democratic management, age mixing and student initiated curriculum (viral learning) are the essential innovations.

I've taught 4th grade for the past 20 years. Ever since becoming involved in the TLP project back in 2000, I've become very excited and interested in tech integration and its impact on student learning/motivation. I am here to learn and grow, gather new ideas and become more effective with teaching and watch the students grow in their digital world.

I am a professor at Lipscomb University, working with K-12 educators, both at the undergraduate and graduate level... although most of my career was in the high school classroom. My passion has always been technology... since the early 80s... since the beginning of of desktop computers. In 2000, I switched my interest to online education. Over the last couple years, I have been focusing on Web 2.0 technologies. I will be teaching a new course this spring that will focus on Web 2.0 technologies. Classroom 2.0 will definitely be part of that course!

Hello! My name is Tim Madden, and I teach 6th grade English (and math a bit ago) in Grand Ledge, Michigan.

I am very interested in getting my students exposed to Web 2.0 options. We have only one computer lab to use, so I need to make the most of each experience.

I also am encouraging other staff to educate themselves on these opportunities and see what an impact things like Skype, student blog commenting, wikis, etc., can have on their students.

I look forward to reading and conversing with others on this site.

-Tim

Hi I am Maggi, currently in Korea teaching English, but will be returning to Australia end of January 2009, to expand the Virtual Classroom. I have learnt so much from this site, and met some very exciting teachers and concepts. I am always excited about linking with other teachers from around the world, and find this site a wonderful source of everything that is Education.

Hello everyone! I am a 7th/8th grade Language Arts and Reading teacher in Carbondale, Illinois. I have been trying out a lot of the technology and options available to educators, such as blogs and wikis, on my own for some time now, but as of yet I have not integrated it into my classroom. It seems like I just haven't had the time to work out all of the "bugs," such as security and privacy issues, as well as things like computer lab time. But, this coming semester I am hoping to start utilizing some of the things that I have learned. I will have a student teacher who spent Tuesday and Thursdays in my classroom the first semester off the year, so she is already familiar with my students and the way my classroom runs and is already comfortable teaching in my room. I hope that her presence and planning will free me up to work on some of these issues and maybe she and I can even learn together as we collaborate on some projects. Being a college student, she might even be able to teach me a thing or two! I just recently joined Classroom 2.0, so I am looking forward to collaborating with and learning from all of you as well!
