It is nice to be welcomed, to know that someone out that reads the introductions. I understand that you are probably the volunteer welcoming 'committee' but that doesn't change my response. Lorraine Leo has already written and suggested I check out http://www.sitesalive.com
I feel very welcome and look forward to more learning.

Hi!! I am Varnika, a middle school teacher in a small city in India. I widen my knowledge of whatever I have to teach by doing a lot of reference work. In the process giving the students that little extra. I have done my masters in Child Development and naturally go into in depth studies of the behavior of children. Newer teaching practices also interest me. I take pride in calling myself an approachable, friendly, understanding and a fun loving teacher, and believe in passing on knowledge in an easy going manner, rather than making the atmosphere of the class rather drab.
I also heard Steve's conversation with Shuchi, really found it interesting, and agree with most of what Shuchi has to say. I am a regular on educatorslog.in, which is a forum for teachers, mainly placed in India.

G'day Bill. Wouldn't want to let you get away without being welcomed. I've just joined as well but already it's been of value to me. There's so much potential for us to help each other out in so many ways and the bigger it gets the more potential. I'm impressed with Edublogs but without drop-down menus on the Dashboard (the admin page for your site) it is slow to learn your way around the menus. They have improved greatly over the last two years.

My name is Jim Alvaro and I teach 5th grade in New Baltimore Michigan. I am a new grandpa, having been given a beautiful baby girl named Emma Lynn.

I enjoy teaching and getting kids to figure out how to get an answer with me.

My class and I have an awesome blog call THE SKINNY. Check us out a www.visitmyclass.com/blogs/theskinny.

Hello Jim and welcome to classroom20. I am just a new grandma as well - well I was 10 months ago. You will find lots to keep you happy here. Web2.0 allows the teacher to be a facilitator which I love to be.

Thank you, Anne. I am sure that you are right about that. Looks like a great site and an active community.

(By the way, my post should have said consultant for Moodlerooms, not Moodlers.)

Nice to be here. :-)

Best regards,
Art

There are absolutely countless opportunities here and I love the fact that so many members come from so many countries, cultures and backgrounds but we all have a common purpose. I still keep coming back to see what the latest discussions are about and there is always something new to be learnt or shared.
