Greetings All! Janet Kauffmann from Gloucester City, NJ - right across the river from Philadelphia, so we are in the southern part of the state. I'm the Director of Technology and we are committed to moving our teachers into 2.0 environments and making the most of the open source opportunities out there. I really want to hear what teachers all over the place are saying about what works and what doesn't work in their classrooms.

Hiya, I'm Valerie Hernandez. I live in Brooklyn, New York, work in Manhattan, was born in Belize, C.A. and attended secondary school in Silicon Valley. I'm in my second year of teaching at Henry Street School for International Studies. Prior to teaching, I was a graphic designer and web producer for The Wall Street Journal, Major League Baseball, and The Economist magazine. These were all great jobs, but nothing, and I mean, nothing, beats my current vocation. My students, and co-workers are the most awesome individuals.

Hi all - I'm Chris Walker from Christchurch, New Zealand. I'm a teacher of History, Classical Studies (Ancient Greece and Rome) and Social Studies to Year 9-13s (US Grades 8-12). I'm very keen on utilising Web 2.0 for teaching and learning - there's some exciting stuff going on. I'm loving trying things out with my classes and watching them get into it. And online communities like this are a great source of new ideas. Thanks to all who have worked on getting this happening.

Hi, everyone! My name is Heather Kaiser. I am so excited to be joining Classroom 2.0! I have been teaching for 11 years and although I my master's degree is in Educational Technology I'm constantly learning something new because it changes so fast. I'm currently teaching in a science lab and facilitate technology integration at an urban school near Fort Bragg. We have access to loads of technology which is such a great privilege for our students. I'm looking forward to collaborating with others here.

Hi Robert and welcome to classroom2.0 This community is a great on to learn with. I use web2.0 to learn and teach across countries and classes, so I use skype, elluminate and discoverE, all of which you might be interested in for your business executives. I suggest you also join htp://www.learncentral.org as this is a site similar to this but using elluminate for virtual classroom work.

Hi everyone,
I teach 8th grade physical science and high school physics. I want to offer more opportunities for interactive learning and collaboration to my students. I created my first class blog this morning! I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices in edtech in the 21st century. I hope that my fellow teachers here will help me sort some of it out.

HI I'm Heather McCarthy, Toowoomba Queensland Australia. I am currently finishing my B Ed at USQ after 6 long years of part time study. I have worked for the past 8 years as a teacher aide and became interested in ICT and technology in the classroom and have been fortunate to have been allowed the freedom to teach all classes in primary computer skills. There seems to be more and more tools available that can be utilized in the classroom to make our students worthwile and creative members of the 21st century. I'm excited about learning about them and using them as we endeavour to make our classrooms interesting learning spaces.
Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.
Cheers
