Hello all, I am a born-geeky, big city gal transplanted to the rural woods and farmlands of SW Arkansas. I couldn't convince my folks to move to the city, so here I am so the kids can grow up near them and I can be ready as they age.
I am an odd duck in the group in that I come from the homeschooling community. I started looking into ways to put the net to use many years ago to meet the needs of homeschoolers scattered far and wide in this rural area. Getting together for homeschool co-op classes and social events can be very problematic when there's sometimes a 120 mile drive involved. Now the vision has expanded to where I am involved in spearheading the development of a free, international Virtual Homeschool Group course site using Moodle, Elluminate, and Cmapping.

I've notice that those in the traditional school environment who become involved in Web 2.0 technologies have begun to better appreciate the pedagogical discussions that have often driven homeschooling: engagement, individualized instruction, self-directed learning, etc. I think there will be many opportunities for very healthy and constructive dialogs!
So, welcome!

Oh, I forgot to mention that one of my four children is in the Arkansas Virtual School Program. I guess that makes him officially a public school student, even though I am his direct teacher. The curriculum used for the program is online based. It is called K12. He is also a student in some of the online homeschool classes that I teach through Virtual Homeschool Group.

Hi! I'm Linda Loder, from central Kansas in the U.S., and I'm just a geek who loves working with teachers and students to improve learning using technology. I think the web 2.0 'revolution' is going to result in great things for education.

"I think the web 2.0 'revolution' is going to result in great things for education."
I'd love to hear others thoughts about this, since I agree... :)

I am Cerese Godfrey from Georgia, USA. I work for a small rural school system as the Technology Coordinator. In a system as small as ours, a little knowledge seems to make people think you are an expert on all technology. I wish I knew as much as people think I know.
While reading forums like this, it show me how little I do know. Thanks for all your great ideas and for helping me learn about Web 2.0!

Hello, All! My name is Nancy and I'm surprised I didn't join Web 2.0 sooner but if Reflective Teacher is doing Web 2.0, then it must be the place to be.
I teach high school English in the South Bronx (that's in the USA), and I like to beat myself in the head working around my school's technology shortcomings. It's fun! A little painful, but fun, nonetheless.

Good morning everyone from sunny florida. It's been a long week for me @ school and I am glad it's sat. This is my second year of teaching art @ a second chance school.It also happens to be my second career as I have been an illustrator and graphic designer for 18 years. My big push in my classroom is technology. Our kids are very hard to get interested in school and I feel that technology really captures their attention. I have been blessed to have a "dream" art room as far as technology. I just got 20 imac laptops for my kids and am anxious to develope a curiculum for next year using these babies!
If anyone would like to talk about tech in the artclass room or any classroom I'd love to chat and get/give ideas. By the way, my spelling is horrible...it's my right brain thing...Lori

Hi there! Finally made my way over to these parts, and what do I see? A ton of familiar names and faces!
I'm really interested in what we can create through sharing our ideas and methods, as well as in sharing my own successes and failures as I try to teach Language Arts through computers and internet resources.
Oh yeah, I'm from the US.
