School / Work Affiliation: Business Education Teacher - Middle School

About Me: I have been teaching 7th and 8th grade Business Computer Applications classes for the past 3 years. URGGGHHHH!!! I can't take the fighting, disrespect and lack of teacher support by the administration any more. I like teaching computer aps and won the SuperStars in Education Award for our "New Tech City" where we simulated a school in the morning and real-life activities in the afternoon (like applying for a loan, renting an apartment, writing checks and going to the bank, getting married (brought in a marriage counselor as a guest speaker!). More to come...

I am new to using a social network...my friend Julia told me about NING and she's on Library 2.0.

Now that I look at my id, I hope no one thinks I'm about abuse! NOT! (even tho' I feel that way sometimes!) I teach middle school business and computer applications classes.

Anyone got any ideas on how to handle these hormonal monsters?

Have any of you used MySpace to reach these kids?

If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Marco Morales
