Hello Ashley and welcome to classroom2.0 I went to your page to welcome you but it was set to private. Is there a reason for this, as one of the best parts of joining this site is that you can share, connect and communicate. It will be difficult for many of the members to do that, if your page is private. (However, you may have a good reason for doing that)

Hi there! My name is Jennifer and I'm also working on my teaching certificate at the University of Richmond, in Virginia. I currently work in a research lab at VCU doing some genetic work with C. elegans. I plan on teaching high school biology when I am done with school and I hope I can bring some of my lab experience into the classroom to make biology come alive. I student teach this Spring and I can't wait.

Jennifer,
I started out as a molecular biologist (many years older than you:>)); you will bring to the classroom not only your passion but also your work experience. Your experience in a working lab is what high school students do want to know about. Your work experience will enhance your teaching and will enrich your students.
I believe that you bring an additonal learning domain that will positively affect your students. Your attiude along with your skills and habits will help students learn to go beyond Bloom's Tax domain of learning from only application to analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
This blog has already assisted me with advice and information to enrich my teaching style. I am already advising my students in the summer class that I am teaching what great services that are available for them. By enlarging our circle of communication, we find out what we like and can use.

Hi everyone,
I notice that there are quite a few new and graduate teachers introducing themselves which is fantastic! I was just wondering what sort of training new and graduate teachers are getting with regard to web 2.0 tools in universities to prepare themselves for teaching in the 21st century?

Hi
I am an educator teaching full time in a high school and also as an adjunct professor teaching Biology for teachers. I love incorporating technology into my lesson plans. I believe that many students still think that computers are part of their entertainment venue.
I think that many educators are catching up with the technology and the skills that they need. I love sharing what I know and also learning from my colleagues new skills.

Hi!
My name is Erin Davis. I am a part-time literacy/math teacher in North Carolina. I teach at a public charter school in Davidson, NC. I've just returned to teaching after almost 5 years as a stay-at-home-mom. I am also working on my MAEd in PK-12 Reading through UNK's program.
I'm curious about learning from everyone, specifically about a topic I am studying - Marzano's -
Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition.
I look forward to meeting people!

Hi, I am from Memphis, TN where I teach World History and African American History. My goal in joining this network is to "hook up" with amazing teachers who are doing AMAZING things. I only have one computer in my classroom and it is difficult to get into a computer lab in my school. Therefore, I'm looking for "alternative" ways to use technology in my classroom as well as differentiate instruction to make learning enjoyable as well as productive.
