I am a Year 4 Teacher at an independent boys school in central London, UK. Our school uses MAC computers. Currently I am completing a unit on Flexible Learning Environments for a MA. I am interested in experimenting with Social Software for education in the classroom.

Hi Francis,
I am an Aussie too, from Melbourne. Welcome to Classroom 2.0. Your studies sound really interesting. I would love to hear more about this some time.

Have you ever tried NING with primary school students?

Right now you can't, really, since Ning's Terms of Service require that users be 13 years of age. :( Specifically related to COPPA legislation here.

Hello to all,

Ben Tantillo, superintendent of schools for the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, located in Montvale, New Jesery. Our district is in the fourth year of a 1:1 program where all students and teachers receive a wireless laptop for their use 24/7.

Happy to be here and looking forward to learning much from the members.

How is this working for you, our district has two test schools partaking in a one-to-one experiment, with SmartBoards?

I am an educational technology teacher with the Anchorage School District in Anchorage, AK. I have 18 years of teaching experience, was my school's building technology coordinator for 8 years and have recently moved to my current position at the district level. I provide educational technology and network support to 8 elementary schools around the district. I have lived in Alaska for 30 years. I am new to social networking and look forward to learning more.

Shelley - wow, it sounds like you have a lot to teach US! What are your main support areas at this time - do you work directly with the teachers? Looking forward to learning from and sharing with you!

I get to work with teachers, in groups and individually. I'll be teaching two classes at a teacher academy this summer. I also get to work with students assisting teachers with using technology in the classroom or modeling the use of technology in the curriculum. My least favorite area right now is creating images for different school's computers. My areas of interest right now are integrating web 2.0 sites into the curriculum, podcasting, integrating the use of ipods into the classroom and one to one computing.

Hello, My name is Brenda and I teach technology classes at the high school level. I really want to keep up with the students and provide technology they are interested in. I'm hoping to get ideas from classroom 2.0.
