Greetings from Coupeville!

My name is Gayle Nixon and I have just recently moved to Coupevile, Washington from Ketchikan, Alaska.

I have joined this Ning as a requirement for a course I am taking called "Teaching Effectively Online" presented by Frank Odasz.

I am currently looking at websites that offer listings of collaborative tools and online tutorials.

Three that I have found interesting for online education include the following:

Web 2.0: Cool Tools for Schools - Collaborative Tools (http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/Collaborative+Tools)
Science Animations - Movies and Interactive Tutorial Links (http://nhscience.lonestar.edu/biol/animatio.htm)
Online Labs: "Through these online resources, you can get hands-on science and math experiences without having to set foot in a physical classroom or laboratory environment." (http://onlinelabs.in)

Looking forward to searching through information shared in this group.

Good afternoon,

My name is Wilson, I'm virtual tutor. I teach basic programming to a very special group of the Indian community of Guainia. It´s in the Colombian jungle. I have been teacher for many years, I really love my job. I am from Bogota, the capital of Colombia. The main challenges I have as a teacher are to update my knowledge using technology tools and deepen my programming skills. Constantly I am taking online courses.
Guainia is the most poor place in colombia, and I was impacted because the indians do not have access to the education like the big cities in the world for this reason I work every day to improve and help these excellent people.

Hi, all !, I am a business woman training as a teacher, I would love to inspire students to be more entrepreneurial than we are encouraged to be. My Question is how do we or should education include in the curriculum good dept and bad dept ?

To teach financial numeracy as part of maths and we teach attitudes to money (eg good debt bad debt) within PHSE or Mathematics or subject area within the higher education?

Hi, all. Back teaching part time in elementary school here in Hawaii after retiring about a year and half ago. More about my different career pathways and degrees in my profile. I am on my old campus to teach photography to 4th and 5th! (I am a long-time ago and yet again commercial photographer, too.) ...since leaving have been subbing, and missing the school environment a bit.
I always used technology, both computers hardware and collaborative software environments like blogs and wikis (when teaching older grades.) We're in a semi-rural area here on the Big Island of Hawaii.

I have posted a request for help in setting up the internals of my [student]photo capture and collaboration in a separate Forum post. Please help if you can.

Mahalo!
