Hi! I am Kylee Comeau and am a 1st grade teacher in Salina, Kansas. This is my 5th year of teaching, having taught at risk reading, 2nd grade, and title 1 reading and math. Looking forward to being in the same job 2 years in a row this year!! I am currently working on my masters degree through Baker University and joined Classroom 2.0 as a part of a unit for our technology class. I had no idea there were resources like this out there!! I'm learning so much!! I am new to Ning and all this new vocabulary is making my head spin!! Here's to an afternoon of exploration on Classroom 2.0!

Hello! I teach 12th grade English, including Humanities, British literature, and a course in 20th century British and American novels and plays. I'm interested in sharing lessons and approaches for the classroom.

Vanessa here. I'm starting my fourth year teaching English at a 1:1 at-risk high school north of Houston. We have a small school, usually a little under 200 students who all have laptops that they can take home with them.

I'm one course away from my M.Ed. in Admininstration, but I'm really not looking to leave the classroom anytime soon. I just wanted to earn my degree before my husband and I started a family. We just got married this summer in Dunnottar Castle on the coast of Scotland. He's Scottish, so it was the perfect excuse to have the wedding over there. I'm not planning on leaving the US anytime soon, either.

Glad to be here!

Hello all - I'm Brad Woolley from Pinetop, Arizona. I've been teaching for 33 years and I am very excited to try out Classroom 2.0 concepts with my students. I love technology, hiking, biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, traveling and most everything outdoors. I found my "soulmate" 31 years ago and we just celebrated our 30th anniversary. Currently I teach Digital Design, Multimedia, Journalism, Yearbook and this next year we will be adding an exploratory class in 21st Century Learning. I am very excited about this class in that we will try to create a class that focuses how to implement today's technologies into a dynamic learning environment. To be effective I will need to build a strong collaborative team for myself and I really hope that this forum will provide my with people more knowledgeable than myself whom I can turn to for assistance.

Hello all,
My name is Colleen, I am from Philly. I teach Social Studies. I have been teaching in the Philadelphia Public schools for four years, prior to that I taught in private school for 10 years. I have just been enlightened to the web20 technology and I am ready to jump in with both feet. I have some anxiety about my school's equipment (totally outdated) and trying to cope with what my students have to work with, not much. Anyone have any suggestions about sites where my students can create things??? This whole year will be trial and error, in terms of what is blocked or unblocked, what machines need upgrades or not, and how my students will respond. I am so excited for this new adventure. It is amazing.

Hey there! I am just starting Classroom 2.0 and I discovered it when I took an archived webinar on technology and math. In the future I am considering taking Teaching and Technology as my masters program, so I have been trying to brush up on my knowledge and use of the medium. I hope that networking with other teachers who are using technology in the classroom will help me grow and find new ways to use innovative teaching methods.

Currently I am part of a teaching team that works with fifth graders in a summer school program. It has been an outstanding experience thus far and I am excited to go to work every day! During the school year I work at a Setting IV school for high school students with emotional/behavioral disorders. We are starting to see more progressive work, but I really look forward to a time when we can better use technology with this population as it is highly engaging and has so much to offer educationally. I suppose that could be said of every classroom though.

Anyway, that is a little about me... :)
