Hi Tiffany. I have just joined this forum. I teach grade 3 in Hamilton, Ontario. Over this past year I have done a variety of things such as blogging, podcasting, wikis with my students. I only did them at the school level but they were extremely successful. I will be trying to collaborate on a global scale this year.

Hi everyone,
My name is Ruth Abatzolou and I am a high school science teacher working in Santa Ana, California. We have many English learners at my school and a very large campus with 2500 students. My school has implemented Small Learning Communities a few years ago as a way to help students be successful. I am on a team that includes the Teach and e-Business Academies. I mainly teach biology, but I have also taught earth science and even algebra and chemistry when needed. I am currently working on my masters degree in instructional media which is an online program and learning more and more about technology every day. I am interested in learning how to use web 2.0 tools to increase learning in my science classes.
.
Because I am part of Small Learning Community, we are also working to implement collaborative project to help motivate and support learning. I think web 2.0 tools can be very helpful with collaborative project. I have started using a wiki with my students last spring and I want to learn more about how to implement this tool in my classroom more effectively. There is a lot for me to learn and I know this Ning will be a good resource.

Looking forward to our collaborative work. Ruth Abatzoglou

My name is Aparna. I am the founding Mom of Parentella.com. Parentella is for parents and teachers to connect around a class and share information about class news, homework, events, field trips, common class calendar etc. It is only for parents and educators.

I am here to learn more from a teacher's perspective. Parentella has local businesses advertising on the site and our goal is to become an ongoing revenue stream generator for schools and classes. It is time that educators focus on education and not on money.

It is a big dream and goal and I am prepared for the challenge. Thank you for letting me be here! I appreciate it.

Hi to all
What a fantastic site...how have I missed it for so long?! I'm Brenda Mooney and I work for Liverpool City Council as a School Improvement Officer dor ICT, prior to this I was a VLE consultant, ICT Consultant and Faculty Leader in a large secondary school.(All in the last 12 years) I had a previous life before education in Media (TV researcher).
I've only been in my current (and fantastic) job for 6 months and this is the very first opportunity for so very long to have a freehand in creating, instigating and supporting schools in the use of emerging technologies....so quiet new-ish to this freedom and would appreciate any pointers, case studies on HANDHELD TECH projects, E-Safety resources and of course web 2.0 resources. Many thanks and I really look forward to working and collaborating with you. Bx

Hello everyone - I'm Sam Walker - an educator from NC. I was previously the Tech Facilitator at Bolton Elementary, but am moving to help open the newly constructed Kimmel Farm Elementary - a new building with lots of tech advantages. I'm hoping my membership to Classroom 2.0 will help me bring added insight into helping Kimmel Farm become a connected and progressive school using all of its resources to their fullest extent.
