Hello, all!
I am Jennifer- a veteran fourth grade teacher from Seymour, IN-the great Midwestern section of the United States. I enjoy teaching and really love the kids!
I stumbled onto this site while searching for new ways to use more technology and less paper in my classroom. Our school has a 72% poverty rate, so not all of them have internet or computers at home...so any ideas are welcomed!
I can't wait to get started!

Hi. My name is Vicki. I am a 10th grade student in Florida at a less then perfect school.
Since I plan on becoming a teacher one day, it would be nice to see how everything is really run and base my system of teaching on that.
Expecially because this is an online way of communication, I would really like to see this shoot up and become the way of learning.
The class that I wish to teach is High School band. It is where my heart and soul is. It would be nice to pass down my love to another generation.

I am currently pursuing my Maters in Educational Technology part time. In my extremely limited free time, I like to fish, rock climb, ski, and play sports. I currently play on a men’s lacrosse team and compete in skiing competitions on the weekends.

I am so pleased to have found my way to Classroom 2.0! I am a former middle school social studies teacher who is now district coordinator for character education.

I am a gifted resource teacher in Arlington Public Schools, located at Washington-Lee High School. In our new school we have Smart Boards in all classrooms and our ITC is leading a professional learning community in using Web 2.0 tools. It is overwhelming, so for me, I am taking one tool at a time and assessing its practical and effective use in the classroom. The tool I am learning about now and applying to a pedagogical scenario is Wall Wishers. Using this tool, a classroom teacher and I are posing a Socratic question for students to which they respond live and must post evidence to back up their responses. We will use the responses to analyze visually how they provide evidence, the depth and clarity of ideas, and repetition. Through this visual approach we hope to improve the seminar process in our classrooms. Here is an example:

Hi! My name is Debra and this is my second year teaching technology to lower school children (K-5) in an independent school. I would never have thought that I would be teaching technology (I have been a classroom teacher prior) but this literally fell into my lap and I love it! I have learned so much this last year and a half and everyday I find something new thanks to the different communities I am in and the feeds I get. Looking forward to more learning with this community.
