Hello everyone. I'm a third-grade teacher in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I've been incorporating technology into my classroom since I began teaching, 11 years ago. I am always looking for ways to increase my knowledge of, and my students' knowledge of technology as it relates to education. I am confident Classroom 2.0 will help me in this endeavor. Happy to join the network!
Hello friends! Been having fun browsing around. I am interested in picking some brains regarding parent/teacher conferences. I teach pre-k- a combination of theme-based, skills-based, reggio inspired curriculum. Conferences are upon us, and I would like them to be engaging and fun. Where would I post something like this? Thanks!!
Hi everyone. My name's Payungsak Kaenchan, a Fulbright FLTA (teaching assistant) in the Thai language at Northern Illinois University. I am a teacher of English in Thailand and now spending time co-teaching a Thai class at NIU. I am pretty much interested in the applications of Web 2.0 and interactive online learning to the teaching and learning. Looking forward to exploring something new, exciting and useful about Web 2.0 and classroom applications. Nice to know everyone. Stay warm!

Hello! My name is Rob and I am a EFL / ESL teacher currently living in the UK. I have recently moved into online teaching ( which I love ) and am keen to learn everything possible about 2.0 in order to enhance my English classes.
I teach English Honors II at Stanton College Prep. in Jacksonville, FL. My class web site is at http://www.lewismct.com; my students blog about their writing and post poetry at http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger%20id=101635 and collaborate on vocabulary at http://lewismct.wikispaces.com/. I also have a quia site where I create interactive quizzes and games for my students at http://www.quia.com/instructorZone. I am currently taking a three level course in podcasting - hoping to incorporate that into my class and I am involved with Neflins 23 things http://neflins23things.blogspot.com/ a project to support and encourage self-discovery and exploration of new technologies and their potential application in the library environment.
Hi, Rita Mitchell. Was the "distance Learning Librarian" now I am the "Information Literacy Librarian" at a small private university in Milwaukee, WI. We have satellite locations in Minesota, Madison, WI, etc. and have new online programs that launched in the last year. I am working with our instructional technologist and my colleagues in the library to develop new ways to do our instruction of library services, Info lit, etc. It will be an exciting year, and I look forward to getting ideas from this group - Thanks!
Hello! I'm Karen from Houston! I just joined Classroom 2.0 and EduBloggerWorld - all this weekend! I have created a blog and a reader this weekend as well - all thanks to Atomic Learning (our distict's staff development tool). I took their course Seven Steps to a Flat Classroom. I'm exicted and a bit overwhelmed! My feet are wet and I'm trying to keep my head above water! :-)
I'm looking for ways to help our campus (I'm the AP) use technology in meaningful ways with our middles school students. I have a feeling this is going to be a lot of fun!
Hello Karen from Houston. I am Yvonne from Melbourne, Australia. Welcome to the wolrd of Edublogs and Classroom 2.0. I began a Visual Arts blog in May 2008 and am enjoying it immensely. I joined Classroom 2.0 a week or so ago and have enjoyed meeting with teachers in other countries but all on the same mission, to enhance our own learning and that of our students. I also have had the feeling that it is a bit overwhelming at times, but stick at it and please feel welcome to make me a collegue.We all need a little encouragement at first, just like our students, but I think you'll have an amazing journey. Good luck and well done for taking the first steps. Cheers, Yvonne Osborn.
