Comment by Merle Hall on March 28, 2009 at 6:28pm - My name is Merle. I teach computers in northern Missouri. Right now we are learning spreadsheets by playing Monopoly in 6th grade. We are programming in JavaScript in 7th grade, and we are working on Economics in 8th grade. I would love to share lessons and ideas. I am very interested in methods of teaching economics with Web 2.0 technologies. My classroom is located at Http://middleschoolcomputers.ning.com

Comment by Barb on November 21, 2008 at 1:19pm - I moved to the ms to teach reading/writing this year. I taught 3rd grade for 16 years, the last five or six in an eMINTS room with a lot of technology. I have now landed in a barren wasteland, as far as tech goes: not even a SMARTboard. I recently salvaged a couple of boxes of handhelds from a closet. I have never used handhelds before and am looking for resources and middle school level ideas. Anyone?

Comment by Fran Lo on September 10, 2008 at 6:26pm - Another crazy middle school teacher. 7th and 8th grade language arts (English) and also 8th grade computer skills. 3 preps a day, plus coordinate with 7th grade computer teacher, so it's more like 4. My biggest problems is often getting other classroom teachers to use more technology so that kids get more cross-curricular work in their daily computer lab.

I am new to this web 2.0 stuff, but trying to move myself into the 21st century technology as a reading teacher...I am blogging with my 7th graders on a novel we are reading. They seem very excited but we are in the early stages....will give feedback on pitfalls and successes.

I am interested in connecting with a new and different group of people rather than the people I see every day. Always looking for new ideas and suggestions. Glad to be connected! cb
