HI everyone
I have just joined this group in Classroom 2.0. I am involved in providing PD for teachers and have also been involved in an IT cluster. I am also completing a Master degree and I am presently developing my own professional development portfolio for submission - so hopefully I will be able to share some ideas and learn from you all as well.

How do children learn? In many different ways. There is no "right" way to teach every child. The trick is finding the right way.

I received this site link as part of a diigo group and I'm so glad! I'm starting to do some PD for our staff and I hope this group will be helpful :)

I need a few paragraph response from experienced teachers with regard to the prompt: "How do you feel students learn?. Specifically, What theory of learning to you agree with most (ie. Constructivist Theory)." If any one can respond here or on my page that would be a big help. (1 paragraph will be sufficient)

We at Global Kids developed a free curriculum for teaching Second Life, over 400+ pages, which can be found at: http://www.rezed.org/group/GKslcurriculum

It seems to embed video in Google Maps users must do so by copying code from either Google videos or Youtube. Both of these resources are filtered in our district (another challenge we are currently trying to work out). In the meantime, I am wondering if someone in this group happens to know of a way to perhaps "tweak" the code (from another source, like TeacherTube, which is not filtered) to make video clips work in Google Maps. Any suggestions, or additional information, welcome! Thanks!

Hello - My name is Laura and I am a soon-to-be primary teacher hoping to be placed at an international school September this year. Before I have even walked into a classroom I know that PD is going to be a very important aspect of my career. By joining this group I hope that I maybe able to share some of my very limited experiences to the benefit of all and that I also in turn may learn from you.
Wow - that was a pretty formal introduction... I've just had two days of interviews so everything that comes out of my mouth sounds like I'm addressing the UN :)

PS: I hope you have all have Elizabeth's blog in your RSS feed manager... she is a wealth of knowledge... It's like going to a PD course every time I read it :)

Teachers...I would like to invite you to a network I'm building called "Take Control of your Classroom!" I am trying to get teachers and parents involved in making a positive change in the current ed. system.

I haven't opened the website to anyone but my mom and my close friends/teachers, but I'd like to invite all of YOU to help me get it started because I have seen what sound thinkers you are on ed topics, and I like what you all have to say.

Will you please, at your convenience, check out the site and perhaps post under one of my brand new forums, or make a new forum, start a group for your state or issue close to your heart, or blog or rant or whatever?

This is my very first website and I'm terrified that no one will like me (lol, just like high school!). Really, though, I want to make a difference out there and I trust this group to provide sound information.

I'd appreciate suggestions, concerns, let me know what I'm missing...just give it to me straight! You guys rock!

Thanks ya'll and Happy Happy New Year!
