My background in teaching and working with people of all abilities has helped me to understand how important it is to be inclusive of all people in the classroom and the community. I enjoy using technology to provide differentiated instruction to all learners, young and old. Technology is key to engaging and providing our students the skills they need to be lifelong learners.
I'm gathering data for a graduate school project titled, Include Me, that I am working on with my college peers/district colleagues.

nice to meet u Christine, I'm a school teacher from Nepal. I run a small primary school in a rural area of Nepal. I like to share ideas from people around the world for facilitating poor family children.
Hi Christine. I was wondering if you have any high school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Christine:
Just found this neat site. I have a blog but because my students use it too, I don't have it in the Google search. Perhaps others have done this too? Here's my blog if you're interested. I'd love to hear your comments!www.luv2teachsped.wordpress,com/

Thank you for the welcome, Christine. It is great to be here. Just need to figure out how this all works!
Hi Christine,
Yes I have a pretty cool pic don't I!!
It was made about a year ago on a website called PaloozaHead. At the time it was a promotional site for a concert, it allowed you to upload your face, choose clothing and a song with which to dance to - totally hilarious but no longer around. I found it so amusing I took a screen shot of myself dancing and have used it here!! All good for a laugh :)
Hi Christine, Thanks for the welcome. Yes, we do work very close in range, in fact, do you know KarenK? from Searingtown? Please send her my regards. I haven't searched for her on CR2.0 but bet she's here somewhere. I see that you are a SB user. Great! We have a 7th grade SPED instructor who is using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom and loving it. I'd love to find ways to connect our students if possible. KIT PS I am opening up a ning site for us educators in NY to find ways to reach out and make recommendations. Let me know if you are in-ter-ested :)
Check out our series of free live workshops around the United States on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in education. Coming up: Sacramento, New York, and Boston. More details and information here.
